Wings. This is a story every child needs to read…then tell it word for word to their parents.

Wonderful for Mature Readers. Powerful story, wonderfully written. The format was very engaging and made for quick reading. The story reminded me a bit of Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi. I have given it 5 stars based on its many merits, however, a novel with explicit depiction of gory murder, death and the horrors of the African slave trade, as well as implicit rape and suicide are very mature for the apparently intended audience. I bought this book for my child on a whim in the "youth" novel section at Target and am glad I read it before giving it to her. My children will read this when they are more grown up, but I'm confused about how this is being marketed to an audience who barely knows about sex, much less rape. The brutal murders of multiple characters are truly the stuff of nightmares. So aside from the "miss" on the genre, it was an excellent book and I highly recommend for mature audiences.

The Door of No Return. The novel is breathtaking in expression. Brimming with artistry, it tells the story of a searing adventure with even more hope awaiting.
