Description
An unforgettable New York Times bestseller from multi-award-winning Jacqueline Woodson, celebrating the friendships formed when a group of children create a safe harbour for each other.
Six children from different backgrounds meet for a weekly chat with no adults to listen in. This special time and place soon becomes a harbour - a safe place where they can express the feelings and fears that they have to hide from the rest of the world. From parents and privilege to racism and deportation, the kids give each other the strength to discuss these tough topics, grow braver and face the rest of their lives.
Award-winning Jacqueline Woodson weaves a beautifully written and powerful tale that leaves a long-lasting mark in readers' minds.

I love Jaqueline Woodsons books. Even in a middle grade that was fairly short. I was completely immersed into the characters and their emotions.

This bowled me over right from the first page. The sentences and words are not difficult at all, making it accessible to its target readers. The emotional depth in those seemingly simple sentences and words is just mind-blowing even for me -- someone in her 50s.
This is a book about 6 children sharing their stories with each other weekly in a special room. They all have different problems.
The problems described in the book might be a bit difficult for my students to grasp but I think it is essential for them to broaden their perspective. Will definitely try to incorporate this in my course one day.
