Jacqueline Woodson's Harbor Me
I’ve been mainly reading books for pure escapism, but this is the book club book this month and it’s due back to the library tomorrow. I mean obviously it was great! It’s Woodson! But it’s also heartbreaking! Because Woodson! And thoughtful and gorgeous. Because . . . Woodson. Anyway, it’s the story of a group of six middle schoolers who have to get together and talk once a week, with no grownups, and it’s the story of how they become closer and more confident and it’s great and sad. But like it is a reflection on the current suckiness of America so if you can’t handle that right now, wait till you feel stronger to give this a go. A.
