Eleven-year-old Isabella’s blended family is more divided
than ever in this thoughtful story about divorce and racial
identity from the award-winning and New York Times bestselling
author Sharon M. Draper. Eleven-year-old Isabella's parents are
divorced, so she has to switch lives every week: One week she’s
Isabella with her dad, his girlfriend Anastasia, and her son
Darren living in a fancy house where they are one of the only
black families in the neighborhood. The next week she’s Izzy
with her mom and her boyfriend John-Mark in a small,
not-so-fancy house that she loves. Because of this, Isabella has
always felt pulled between two worlds. Izzy doesn’t just feel
divided, she feels ripped in two. What does it mean to be half
white or half black? If you’re only seen as half of this and
half of that, how can you ever feel whole?
