About this ebook
Life for Alex Schrader has never involved girls. He goes to an all-boys prep school and spends most of his time goofing around with his friends. But all that changes the first time he meets Bijou Doucet, a Haitian girl recently relocated to Brooklyn after the earthquake-and he is determined to win her heart. For Bijou, change is the only constant, and she's surprised every day by how different life is in America, especially when a boy asks her out. Alex quickly learns that there are rules when it comes to girls-both in Haitian culture and with his own friends. And Bijou soon learns that she doesn't have to let go of her roots to find joy in her new life.
Told in alternating viewpoints against the vibrant backdrop of Haitian-American culture, Alex and Bijou take their first tender steps toward love in this heartwarming story.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Still in print, this is a fun book to share with middle graders. Set in Brooklyn, Alex goes to a private boys school and doesn't have much to do with girls. And then he meets Bijou from Haiti, with a culture totally different than his. A fun way to introduce readers to the myriad of cultures in the US.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Lovely story about Alex and Bijou in 7th grade. Alex tries so hard to win Bijou's heart. Little does he realize what she has lived through in Haiti before coming to New York. Story is told from different points of view which will help the reader understand the 2 cultures.
