A powerful coming-of-age story about two brothers - one who presents as
white, the other as Black - and the ways they are forced to navigate a
world that doesn't treat them equally.
Donte wishes he were invisible. As one of the few black boys at his
school, he feels as if he is constantly swimming in whiteness. Most of
the students don't look like him. They don't like him either. Dubbed
the 'Black Brother', Donte's teachers and classmates make it clear they
wish he were more like his lighter skinned brother, Trey.
When an incident with a white student leads to Donte's arrest and
suspension, he's sure the only way to get even is to beat the student
at the school's most valued game: fencing.
With the help of a former Olympic fencer, Donte embarks on a journey to
carve out a spot on the school's fencing team and to find a way to make
people at school see past the colour of his skin to who he really is.
From NYT bestselling author Jewell Parker Rhodes, another poignant and
gripping story about how children and families face the complexities of
race and racism in today's world.

But when I'm sent to work in the headmaster's office every day with Daisy I am stuck staring at her pretty face, hearing her sweet voice and I start to make her laugh. The more I get to know her, the more obsessed I become. And I think she feels the same way.
The problem? She's not part of my crowd. No one approves of us together. Not my friends, not my parents and not her father. But I don't care what anyone thinks.
