Description

A powerful and unforgettable novel about finding your voice and standing up for what you believe in. Xiomara has always kept her words to herself, but when it comes to standing her ground in her Harlem neighbourhood, she lets her fists and her fierceness do the talking. She keeps a secret - a notebook full of poems that she keeps under her bed - and a crush on a boy in her bio class. But when she joins a slam poetry club, those secrets are pulled into the spotlight. Xiomara refuses to stay silent, even if it's hard to say what she wants to say. This beautifully written novel deals with issues of race, feminism and faith, crackling with energy and snapping with authenticity and voice.
