It's 1985 and ten-year-old Gabrielle is excited to be moving from
Haiti to America. Unfortunately, her parents won't be able to join
her yet and she'll be living in a place called Brooklyn, New York,
with relatives she has never met. She promises her parents that she
will behave, but life proves to be difficult in the United States,
from learning the language to always feeling like she doesn't fit
in to being bullied. So when a witch offers her a chance to speak
English perfectly and be "American," she makes the deal. But soon
she realises how much she has given up by trying to fit in and,
along with her two new friends (one of them a talking rat), takes
on the witch in an epic battle to try to reverse the spell.

“A love letter to Harlem and hope. I Rise is smart and funny and
full of heart.*†Fourteen-year-old Ayo who has to decide whether
to take on her mother’s activist role when her mom is shot by
police. As she tries to find answers, Ayo looks to the wisdom of
her ancestors and her Harlem community for guidance. Ayo's mother
founded the biggest civil rights movement to hit New York City in
decades. It’s called ‘See Us’ and it tackles police brutality
and racial profiling in Harlem. Ayo has spent her entire life being
an activist and now, she wants out. She wants to get her first real
kiss, have a boyfriend, and just be a normal teen. When her mom is
put into a coma after a riot breaks out between protesters and
police, protestors want Ayo to become the face of See Us and fight
for justice for her mother who can no longer fight for herself.
While she deals with her grief and anger, Ayo must also discover if
she has the strength to take over where her mother left off. This
impactful and unforgettable novel takes on the important issues of
inequality, systemic racism, police violence, and social justice.
