Horn Book (Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 CDT 2015)

African American sisters--biological and adopted--experience gritty truths about their world when their father runs for mayor of Charlotte, North Carolina. The teens grapple with issues of ethics and compassion, such as sensitivity about domestic violence and homelessness in their school. At times racy, the relatable, true-to-life (sometimes didactic) hi/lo series challenges stereotypes of urban African American young women.

Desperate to measure up to her talented older sisters, Yuri Sharp wants to become a top pastry chef. But while learning the ropes at a local bake shop, Yuri discovers that corners are being cut, and people are getting sick. Speaking up has already landed her on the wrong side of a violent school gang. Will Yuri keep her silence this time, or will she be forced to speak up and accept whatever consequences may come?
