Every new moon, she sheds her skin like the many women before her, shifting into a fireball witch who must fly into the night and slowly sip from the lives of others to sustain her own. But Brooklyn is no place for fireball witches with all its bright lights, shut windows, and bolt-locked doors ... While Marisol hoped they would leave their old traditions behind when they emigrated from the islands, she knows this will never happen while she remains ensnared by the one person who keeps her chained to her magical past -- her mother. Seventeen-year-old Genevieve is the daughter of a college professor and a newly minted older half sister of twins. Her worsening skin condition and the babies' constant wailing keep her up at night, when she stares at the dark sky with a deep longing to inhale it all. She hopes to quench the hunger that gnaws at her, one that seems to reach for some memory of her estranged mother. When a new nanny arrives to help with the twins, a family secret connecting her to Marisol is revealed, and Gen begins to find answers to questions she hasn't even thought to ask. But the girls soon discover that the very skin keeping their flames locked beneath the surface may be more explosive to the relationships around them than any ancient magic"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C549825</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C549825</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Zoboi, Ibi Aanu]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/549825195</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780062888877/MC.GIF&amp;client=parlns&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Punching the Air]]></title><description><![CDATA[From award-winning, bestselling author Ibi Zoboi and prison reform activist Yusef Salaam of the Exonerated Five comes a powerful YA novel in verse about a boy who is wrongfully incarcerated.

Brooklyn pride, family pride, and pride in her Afro-Latino roots. But pride might not be enough to save her rapidly gentrifying neighborhood from becoming unrecognizable. When the wealthy Darcy family moves in across the street, Zuri wants nothing to do with their two teenage sons, even as her older sister, Janae, starts to fall for the charming Ainsley. She especially can't stand the judgmental and arrogant Darius. Yet as Zuri and Darius are forced to find common ground, their initial dislike shifts into an unexpected understanding. But with four wild sisters pulling her in different directions, cute boy Warren vying for her attention, and college applications hovering on the horizon, Zuri fights to find her place in Bushwick's changing landscape, or lose it all. In a timely update of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, critically acclaimed author Ibi Zoboi skillfully balances cultural identity, class, and gentrification against the heady magic of first love in her vibrant reimagining of this beloved classic.]]></description><link>https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C172841</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C172841</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Zoboi, Ibi Aanu]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/172841195</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780062564047/MC.GIF&amp;client=parlns&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Black Enough]]></title><description><![CDATA[A collection of short stories explore what it is like to be young and black, centering on the experiences of black teenagers and emphasizing that one person's experiences, reality, and personal identity are different than someone else.]]></description><link>https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C178047</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C178047</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/178047195</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Stories of Being Young &amp; Black in America</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780062698728/MC.GIF&amp;client=parlns&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
