I recently read <em>Partly Cloudy</em> by Tanita S. Davis. It is a great book, and I chose it at the local library. The reason I chose it was because the elements and back of the book were about a black girl and the challenges she faces at school. The book follows a girl called Madelyn and her making new friends and microaggression and racist situations and incidents at school and home. Plus, smoke, fire, and other natural menaces threaten her house, her Mom, and her school and friends.
I liked the parts about Madelyn losing and gaining one of her friends due to past bullying and minor Negrophobia reasons as well. I also liked the parts where she moves into Papa Lobo's house and meets Jean.
The second part that begins with not the least all the way to perched above my chamber door because the raven was gentle and proper when flying and was like a lady or lord when he landed making him dignified and elegant.
