Chlorine Sky

Reach for this book when your daughter feels like she is living in someone else's shadow or when a long-term friendship has turned sour, leaving her feeling lonely or 'less than.' It is a powerful tool for navigating the specific pain of female friendship breakups and the struggle to find one's own voice. Written in spare, rhythmic verse, the story follows Sky as she navigates the complexities of a toxic best friend, rumors, and the pressure to fit in. While it touches on the realities of being a Black girl in an urban setting, the core themes of self-worth and setting boundaries are universal. Due to some mature language and realistic dating situations, it is best suited for teenagers who are ready for an honest, unfiltered look at growing up.
