I read the book Off-Color by, Janet McDonald. I would recommend this book to more girls than boys because of the girly parts.

This book is about a girl named Cameron. Cameron’s family, her and her mom, are middle class citizens. They live in an apartment. At first Cameron is making fun of the people who are living in the projects and then she starts living in the projects too. The projects are these apartment buildings for families who can’t afford to live, because of their income. When she moves to the projects, away from her friends, while she is unpacking she sees a picture of a man. Then she figures it all out. She is African-American. Well only half way, but it still counts. She makes new friends in the “projects” while still hanging out with her old friends.

This was a great book and I hope you will think so too.
