À propos de cet audio

In Scarborough, a low-income urban neighborhood, three kids struggle to rise above poverty, abuse, and a system that consistently fails them. The adults in their lives either rise to the occasion or fall by the wayside; together, they make up a troubled yet inspired community that refuses to be undone.

I was wary of this book at first because I read other reviews that made me think this was a “bashing white ppl” book. In my black a** opinion, it is not a bashing book. Its stories about people of different cultures feeding into stereotypes... hopefully it’s to show us just how foolish those stereotypes can be when you don’t know a person’s whole story. The characters feel like imperfect people trying to get through their lives without the leg up they deserve. Many of the stories are similar to real life events that happened to me, friends and family. I didn’t grow up in Scarborough (west end 4 life! lol) but it felt like an ode to being raised in a multicultural city that didn’t treat us very friendly, while also showing me what my fellow ppl of colour might have been suffering. I appreciate Hernandez for this book. I wasn’t always a fan of her narration and rated it “okay”.

Relatable representation!

This book should be required reading for incoming and current teachers to highlight the intersection of education and poverty.

This story affected me viscerally. I sobbed gut wrenching sobs. I felt rage at the injustices that I know are all too real and not just contained in the pages of the story. I floated away on the love and determination. The narration was exquisite- it had life and depth. I am recommending this book to everyone. A must read.

Phenomenal- story and narration.

Ms. Hernandez has written a wonderful book packed with stories that portray a slice of the Toronto borough that often is portrayed as less than a desirable place to live in. The stories reflect a multicultural reality often hidden from the rest of us who are oblivious or indifferent to those whose needs are varied and constant. It is a book that strikes a balance of sad and happy stories. Recommendable.

Great stories.
