This is a modern day (2014) retelling of Steven King’s Carrie. A biracial girl, Maddie Washington, lives with her racist father. Because of his racism, he wants her to be perceived as white. This takes place in a fictional sundown town of Springville, Georgia. Once she’s outed as black, all hell breaks loose.
The book summary doesn’t do the book justice. The incredible writing hooked me from the first chapter. I loved this book. It’s a great YA horror.
The audiobook brought the podcast segments of the book to life. Can’t recommend it enough. This is the third book I’ve read by Tiffany D. Jackson. She has quickly become one of my favorite authors.
