Harbor Me

This week we read Harbor Me by Jacqueline Woodson. We talk about uplifting authors of color, the education system (yet again), and the story’s non-linear narrative. We also shout out our favorite fan who send us super nice Instagram messages - check them out at whattoreadnextya.middlegrade for book recommendations from this decade!

Content Warnings: Racism, deportation, allusion to learning disabilities, bullying, politics, parent death, discussion of police brutality, injury, incarcerated parents, and classism.
