- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5An interesting outreach to the young reader of today's US Black culture. Unfortunately there were multiple spots where the language used went past the language of comfort into the realm of one generation reaching awkwardly to the next. The message was there, but some readers may potentially tune out as Hill Harper shows his age through his writing.
