Historia
Best friends Rasheeda and Monique are both good girls. For Sheeda, that means keeping her friends close and following her deeply religious and strict aunt’s every rule. For Mo, that means not making waves in the prestigious and mostly White ballet intensive she’s been accepted to. But what happens when Sheeda catches the eye of Mo’s older brother, and the invisible racial barriers to Mo’s success as a ballerina turn out to be not so invisible? What happens when you discover that being yourself isn’t good enough? How do you fight back?

Many young Black girls and their moms will relate
Revisado: 11-13-22
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.

A Must Read!
Revisado: 06-20-21
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.

Historia
Maddie Fynn is a shy high school junior, cursed with an eerie intuitive ability: she sees a series of unique digits hovering above the foreheads of each person she encounters. Her earliest memories are marked by these numbers, but it takes her father's premature death for Maddie and her family to realize that these mysterious digits are actually death dates, and just like birthdays, everyone has one.

One of the most intriguing books I’ve ever read!
Revisado: 06-27-19
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.)
