One of Our Kind

With haunting and powerful prose, Nicola Yoon brilliantly imagines a world with much to tell us about our own. * John Green, author of THE FAULT IN OUR STARS *Brilliant, provocative, seminal - there aren’t enough adjectives to describe how much food for thought Yoon’s novel provided. When cultural identity is shaped by trauma, can you even imagine who you are when that trauma is excised? What is the difference between equality and equity? And how deep into the magma of racism does implicit bias go? Your book club will be discussing this one for DAYS * Jodi Picoult, author of SMALL GREAT THINGS *Nicola Yoon can write about any subject beautifully, but what she’s done in One of Our Kind is as thrilling as it is lusciously written. I can’t remember the last time a book kept me turning the pages so quickly, or kept me up so late. One of Our Kind is for readers who want to be taken to the edge of expectation, and solidly dropped into the middle of a new nightmare. I still have goosebumps. * Ashley C. Ford, author of SOMEBODY’S DAUGHTER *
