Black Brother, Black Brother

Twelve-year-old Donte is one of the few Black students at his wealthy prep school; even his brother is lighter-skinned and presents as white. When Donte is arrested after being framed by the captain of the fencing team, he sets out to beat him at his own game. However, through fencing, he embarks on a powerful journey of self-discovery and learns the importance of friendship, community and embracing his identity. While a relatively quick read, Black Brother, Black Brother is sure to spark important conversations on racism, colorism and the school-to-prison pipeline for a younger audience.
