Lexile: 790
Genre: Historical Fiction / Novel in Verse
Currently on pg. 16
I know I have said it before but I usually do not read novels in verse. I have read "Brown Girl Dreaming" by Jacqueline Woodson, "The Crossover" by Kwame Alexander, and a couple others. I gave the majority of them four stars. I did give "The Crossover" five stars. It was the winner of the 2017 ORCA. I do love historical fiction so perhaps I will give this book five stars as well.
Mimi is a Japanese-African American. The year is 1969. She is moving to a predominantly white Vermont town. As if her race isn't enough to make her stand out, she enters science competitions, tries to take shop class instead of home ec, and dreams of becoming an astronaut.
