The author has done a phenomenal job recreating situations in her story that reflect the Black experience. Her effective incorporation of the Black vernacular, terminology, and expressions into the story is spot on and strengthens its authenticity. While getting a glimpse of the teenage experience, we see how the author tackles issues of racism and subtle exclusion clearly and unapologetically. This is the first book that I have read that candidly addresses young Black girls’ experiences, but also validates their feelings without suggesting they conform or dismiss their experiences- which is a crucial message when the self esteem of many young Black girls is often adversely impacted. I highly recommend this book and will recommend it to my middle school students.

I was pleasantly surprised by the captivating storyline. It is a unique story that reminds me of a combination of both “It” and “The Apprentice”-perfect for middle school students looking for a horror story that is entertaining, unpredictable, and defies stereotypical characters. I highly recommend it.

I loved everything about this book-the plot twists, the suspense, the emotional toll elicited in the reader by the various characters and their antics. What I love most about this book is Victoria Laurie’s attention to detail for every aspect of what happens in the story, from social interactions to investigative lab results. Nothing was predictable. I didn’t want the book to end. I really wish I had read this book when I first heard about it being a Black-eyed Susan nominee in Maryland. We couldn’t keep it in our library at my middle school (and still can’t.)
