Brendan Buckley's Universe and Everything in It

Brendan Buckley's Universe and Everything in It



Brendan, a biracial kid with a knack for science, accidentally finds his bigoted grandfather in the mall - never having met him before because, well, he's a bigot and his mother stopped speaking to him.

This potentially heavy material is dealt with deftly and smartly in this book. In the voice of Brendan, we discover things about racism in modern society, the unexplainable causes, the ties that bind, and the people it affects.

A really nice addition to a middle grade book shelf - regardless of racial identity.
