Description
Swing by Kwame Alexander and Mary Rand Hess is a powerful novel in verse that explores themes of identity, friendship, and social justice. Best friends Noah and Walt are determined to leave their geek days behind and find "cool", but as they navigate the complexities of junior year, they discover that true coolness comes from embracing life's challenges. As Noah stumbles upon old love letters and begins secretly creating artwork, he must decide whether to speak out or stay silent. Meanwhile, a mysterious series of American flags being left around town sparks tensions in their community, forcing Noah and Walt to confront the deeper divides and prejudices that exist. This moving and heartfelt story is a powerful exploration of what it means to be true to oneself and to stand up for what is right. With its lively and engaging verse, Swing is a worthwhile read for anyone looking for a story that will resonate with them long after they finish reading.
