From a Coretta Scott King Honor author, a “delightful” novel about the microaggressions of middle school and what one girl learns about community (Lisa Moore Ramée, author of A Good Kind of Trouble).
Lightning couldn’t strike twice, could it? After a terrible year, Madalyn needs clear skies desperately. Moving in with her great-uncle, Papa Lobo, and switching to a new school is just the first step.
It’s not all rainbows and sunshine, though. Madalyn discovers she’s the only Black girl in her class, and while most of her classmates are friendly, assumptions lead to some serious storms.
Papa Lobo’s long-running feud with neighbor Mrs. Baylor brings wild weather of its own, and Madalyn wonders just how far things will go. But when fire threatens their California community, Madalyn discovers that being neighborly means more than just staying on your side of the street— it means weathering tough conversations and finding that together a family can pull through anything.
“Feel-good realistic fiction . . . reminds young readers that families and friendships alike require honesty, compromise, and understanding—especially when the forecast is partly cloudy.” —Booklist (starred review)
“In this gentle multigenerational narrative, Davis explores race, tough conversations, and climate change as her endearing protagonist learns to face conflict and embrace community.” —Publishers Weekly
