Scarborough

De: Catherine Hernandez

Narrado por: Catherine Hernandez

In Scarborough, a low-income urban neighborhood, three kids struggle to rise above poverty, abuse, and a system that consistently fails them. The adults in their lives either rise to the occasion or fall by the wayside; together, they make up a troubled yet inspired community that refuses to be undone.

Beautifully Written, Heart wrenching

I stumbled on this book via tiktok because the dedication brought me to tears: "I was fifteen, you were four. I taught you drama in a Scarborough community center. You were surviving neglect. Wherever you are, I hope you are safe, and know that I loved you enough to write you this book."

Best book I've read all year. It is read by the author. Not a single dull moment, such a beautifully written book.

One of the best books I’ve listened to

Please listen to this book! The reading was incredible and the story truly touched my heart!

Every teacher needs type read this

😁 such diversity and complexity in this tragic hopeful and sometimes funny book. I’ll be following Catherine Hernandez forever.

Difficult but excellent!

Well written. Bings into the open a whole lot of truths we too often ignore wherever we live. Congratulations to the author for setting them in print and audio.

Excellent

Found myself planning walks in that community to landmark those referenced in the story. Very moving story.
