Written by Kelly J. Baptist
Eb & Flow is a book written in verse about two kids in middle school who get into an altercation at school and both get suspended for 10 days. The story follows each of them throughout the 10 days. Topics like drugs, gangs, and family issues are addressed in ways that make them accessible to the reader.
I really enjoyed this book and how it addressed society, labels, and how supporting others can help them deal with issues as they arise.Reviewed by Erica Owens, Library Technology Coach, Bonneville Jr. High School
