Eb & Flow

A ten-day suspension has tweens De´Kari and Ebony seeing the world with a fresh perspective. Don´t miss this poignant novel in verse from the award-winning author of Isaiah Dunn Is My Hero. Two kids. One fight. No one thinks they´re wrong. Flow I don´t even hit girls . . . is what I´m thinking. I roll my eyes, turn them to my shoes. Shoes I´ma wear every day till they fall off my feet. Eb It was all just an accident! Nobody was trying to mess up his Stupid Ugly Shoes. Now I´ve got my third suspension of seventh grade. Ebony and De´Kari (aka Flow) do not get along. How could they when their cafeteria scuffle ended with De´Kari´s ruined shoes, Ebony on the ground, and both of them with ten days of at-home suspension? Now Eb and Flow have two weeks to think about and explain their behavior-to their families, to each other, and ultimately to themselves. Award-winning author Kelly J. Baptist delivers a novel in verse that follows Eb and Flow as they navigate their parallel lives. Single-parent homes, tight funds, and sibling dynamics provide a balancing act for the growing tweens. And whether they realize it or not, these two have a lot more in common than they think.
