It seems as if her only friend is her older brother, Alex. Toya doesn't know where she fits in, but after a run-in with another student, she wonders if life would be different if she were . . . different. And then a higher power answers her prayer: to be "anything but black." <p/>Toya is suddenly white, blond, and popular. Now what? <p/><i>Into White, </i>Randi Pink's audacious fiction debut, dares to explore a subject that will spark conversations about race, class, and gender. <p/><b>Praise for <i>Into White</i></b>: <p/>"<b>Pink isn't afraid of being provocative</b> (Jesus makes regular appearances), and the book dives into thorny issues of identity, self-image, and the internal effects of racism in a <b>strikingly frank</b> way." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"<b>Pink is careful to never allow </b><b>the story itself to fall into agenda-pushing. </b>Instead, she allows Toya to explore the gray areas teens negotiate as their identities shift and as their belief systems are challenged. <b>This debut ought to inspire </b><b>readers to have conversations among themselves about family, empathy, community, and respect for </b><b>others.</b>"--<i>Booklist</i>, starred review</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><b>Pink is careful to never allow </b><b>the story itself to fall into agenda-pushing. </b>Instead, she allows Toya to explore the gray areas teens negotiate as their identities shift and as their belief systems are challenged. <b>This debut ought to inspire </b><b>readers to have conversations among themselves about family, empathy, community, and respect for </b><b>others.</b>--<i>Booklist</i>, starred review <p/><b>Pink isn't afraid of being provocative</b> (Jesus makes regular appearances), and the book dives into thorny issues of identity, self-image, and the internal effects of racism in a <b>strikingly frank</b> way. --<i>Publishers Weekly</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Randi Pink </b>grew up in the South and attended a mostly white high school.
