An Un-Calibrated Centrifuge

Pink and Say

Pink and Say - Patricia Polacco

Wow. This book is intense but in a good way. Polacco handles the race and class of the boys well. The dialect is enough to get a sense for the way they talk but not over the top stereotypical. I like when Pink explicitly says his master is a bad man even though he taught him to read (going against many typical slave narratives).
