Blended by Sharon Draper, 308 pages
“Piano-prodigy Isabella, eleven, whose black father and white
mother struggle to share custody, never feels whole, especially as racial
tensions affect her school, her parents both become engaged, and she and her
stepbrother are stopped by police.” I wasn’t
completely expecting how this story was going to go but I loved it. I’m sure that plenty of kids can relate to
Izzy’s story and even kids who haven’t had her experiences can sympathize with
her troubles. She’s an extremely likable
and relatable character. I would highly
recommend this for older elementary kids.
