As I started listening to this story of Andre, a high school senior who is arrested and incarcerated for thefts at a party. A backpack is found with stolen goods in his locker at the rec center. Andre maintains his innocence, but he keeps quite going through the juvenile justice system. He's let out on a monitoring program and community service. Shortly after, the COVID-19 lockdown begins. His family is highly impacted. His neighbors are a family with 3 adopted children of color and two white parents with 2 biological children.
There's a lot happening in this book. I thought about the books Invisible Man and Native Son, and I think this title is an homage to both. It's a look at the ways race, power, policing play out in contemporary life. The book is rooted in Portland and delves into the early days of COVID and the racial unrest after George Floyd's killing. The family next door is not what they appear and their fates are intimately ties with his.
I found Andre a character for whom to cheer, even when he makes choices that seem ill advised. He's got a supportive family and is connected with a number of mentors who help guide him. ( )
