alomie 's review for:

Punching the Air by Ibi Zoboi, Yusef Salaam
3.5
challenging dark emotional hopeful inspiring reflective fast-paced
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I liked this one, I listened to it as an audio book and at times it was heartbreaking but a good introduction to and look at how the system is broken. 
It does not offer solutions but helps young people understand that there is not a level playing field. 
I don't know if I would recommend this, but i enjoyed it.
