From the Notebooks of Melanin Sun Paperback - 2010
by Jacqueline Woodson
Woodson's powerful Coretta Scott King Honor Book is back in a brand-new edition. Melanin Sun's world is turned upside-down when his mom reveals that she is gay.
Summary
Three-time Newbery Honor author Jacqualine Woodson explores race and sexuality through the eyes of a compelling narrator
Melanin Sun has a lot to say. But sometimes it's hard to speak his mind, so he fills up notebooks with his thoughts instead. He writes about his mom a lot--they're about as close as they can be, because they have no other family. So when she suddenly tells him she's gay, his world is turned upside down. And if that weren't hard enough for him to accept, her girlfriend is white. Melanin Sun is angry and scared. How can his mom do this to him--is this the end of their closeness? What will his friends think? And can he let her girlfriend be part of their family?
