The stories, all worth savoring, share a celebratory outlook on black teenagers fully and courageously embracing life. Ages 13–up. " Rezension(11): "〈a href=http://www.slj.com/ target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/schoollibraryjournal_logo.png alt=School Library Journal border=0 /〉〈/a〉: Starred review from November 1, 2018 Gr 9 Up- A compilation of short stories that offers unique perspectives on what it means to be young and black in America today. Each entry is deftly woven and full of such complex humanity that teens will identify with and see some of their own struggles in these characters. In Leah Henderson's Warning: Color May Fade, a prep school girl examines the cost of being and remaining invisible in a world carefully crafted to exclude her. Two girls take the peer pressure of naked selfies and turn it on its head in Girl, Stop Playing by Liara Tamani. A group of young black boys dream up food creations heavily influenced by the flavors of other cultures in The Ingredients by Jason Reynolds. This collection presents the beauty of black humanity in all its many forms. The teens in these tales are dealing with mental health issues, complicated family dynamics, sexuality and gender constraints, and being part of a marginalized group. The entries offer a rich tableau of the black teen diaspora in an accessible way. VERDICT A great volume for all libraries serving young adults.- Desiree Thomas, Worthington Library, OHCopyright 2018 School Library Journal, LLC Used with permission. " Rezension(12): "〈a href=http://www.kirkusreviews.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/kirkus_logo.png alt=Kirkus border=0 /〉〈/a〉: Starred review from November 1, 2018 A diverse and compelling fiction anthology that taps 17 established, rising star, and new #ownvoices talents.Editor Zoboi (Pride, 2018, etc.) lays out the collection's purpose: exploring black interconnectedness, traditions, and identity in terms of how they apply to black teens. Given that scope, that most stories are contemporary realistic fiction makes sense (Rita Williams-Garcia's humorous Whoa! which dips into the waters of speculative fiction, is a notable exception). Conversely, the characters are incredibly varied, as are the narrative styles. Standouts include the elegant simplicity of Jason Reynolds' The Ingredients, about a group of boys walking home from the swimming pool,Leah Henderson's Warning: Color May Fade, about an artist afraid to express herself,the immediacy of Tracey Baptiste's Gravity, about a #MeToo moment of self-actualization birthed from violation,Renee Watson's reflection on family in Half a Moon,and the collection's namesake, Varian Johnson's Black Enough, which highlights the paradigm shift that is getting woke. In these stories, black kids are nerds and geeks, gay and lesbian, first gen and immigrants, outdoorsy and artists, conflicted and confused, grieving and succeeding, thriving and surviving--in short, they're fully human. No collection could represent the entire spectrum of blackness, however, the presence of trans, Afro-Latinx, and physically disabled characters is missed: a clarion call for more authentic black-centric collections.A breath of fresh air and a sigh of long overdue relief. Nuanced and necessary. (contributor biographies) (Anthology. 12-18) COPYRIGHT(2018) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Turpin confidently takes on the female-driven stories, while Butler settles in with the male points of view. Settings include camping trips, disastrous parties, and family reunions, and each story features a moment of triumph and self-realization. Listeners will find themselves dropped into the lives of teens who are rendered lifelike by the wealth of talent the narrators bring to the production. Together, Turpin and Butler are more than enough for this must-listen collection. J.E.C. � AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine"
