January 2012 – Sherri Winston

She’s on the move again. Brianna Justice and President of the Whole Sixth Grade are part of B&N’s latest summer reading program.

Where art and mystery stylishly collide.

Bookist: Winston has created a spunky character in Jada, a fashionable artist and independent girl who isn’t afraid to take on a few adults in the search for the truth. Hopefully Jada will be back for future missions.

The Sweetest Sound—a Kirkus Best Book/friendship and family selection 2017.

*Kirkus starred review: … Winston …creates a rich and winning first-person story about a deeply introverted black girl who nearly loses her gift because of her understandable but undermining fear.

Brianna Justice faces discrimination–her own–when she meets black kids from a “bad” neighborhood.

Kirkus starred review: Winston does an excellent job highlighting the complex race issues that African-American children face. …Thought-provoking and smart and a great springboard for discussions on race and class. (Fiction. 10-13)
