I was surprised too. Very much a character-driven novel, gorg writing as usual from Woodson. Hi Tanita,

Had heard the title before, hadn't gotten to it. Definitely moving it up my list. I didn’t realize this was a quiet book. Had heard the title before, hadn’t gotten to it.

Woodson's NY neighborhood is home to Neeka and the narrator, but they all look out for each other and when D Foster takes them to new neighborhoods, roads, rails, and experiences, they are better for it. A great look at the warmth of friendship, a time of tumult for Tupac and his followers, and the mysteries of friendship.

I loved the sense of the community that came through so strongly in the story - everyone sitting on the porches after dinner, everyone keeping an eye on everyone's children. I knew that neighborhood. I also loved the exploration of friendship. Wonderful review of a wonderful book!
