pickWHOA! I was not prepared for the BRUTALITY of this book nor the extremely graphic sexual abuse depicted. Just heartbreaking. Absolutely gutted by this book. I can‘t say I “enjoyed” reading this one, but it‘s definitely a powerful piece of writing. Does this belong in a classroom? I‘m not sure it‘s right for every student but it certainly is the RIGHT place to explore the themes of poverty, inequality, cruelty and damaging beliefs.

Centique This is the most brutal book ive ever read but i do think an experience like that needs to be captured by an amazing author - and Morrison is exactly the right author to make it horrifying but also human. 🙌 14mo
