This Town Is on Fire by Pamela N. Harris
4.5
A contemporary novel that deals with racism among a friend group in a small town. It showed what teen activism can look like. Three main character, Naomi, comes to realize that a lot of what goes on around her- mainly her friend Kylie’s and Kylie’s family’s behavior- is racist. The ending felt anticlimactic. Still, I would recommend this to YA readers.
Graphic: Cursing, Hate crime, Racism, Violence, and Toxic friendship
Moderate: Bullying and Classism
