Description
Stephen wants to be like his friends - to have no lane. But what if he can't do everything they can? As a mixed kid, he's living in two worlds with different rules. Strangers treat him differently than his white friends. So, when his friends dare each other to sneak into an abandoned building, Stephen decides to join them. But as he navigates this new world, he starts to question whether he truly belongs. Torrey Maldonado explores what it means to be a young boy growing up in a racially split world. With sensitivity and nuance, the author shows Stephen trying to find his place - and figure out who should be with him. This thought-provoking story is well suited to readers looking for a relatable and engaging tale of self-discovery. What Lane? is a powerful exploration of identity, belonging, and the complexities of growing up in a divided world.
