Synopsis

From award-winning author Tanita S. Davis comes a nuanced
exploration of the microaggressions of middle school and a young Black girl
named Madalyn who learns that being a good friend means dealing with the blue
skies and the rain—and having the tough conversations on days that are partly
cloudy. Perfect for fans of A Good Kind of Trouble and From the Desk
of Zoe Washington.

Lightning couldn’t strike twice, could it? After a terrible year, Madalyn needs clear
skies desperately. Moving in with her great-uncle, Papa Lobo, and switching to
a new school is just the first step.

It’s not all rainbows and sunshine, though. Madalyn
discovers she’s the only Black girl in her class, and while most of her
classmates are friendly, assumptions lead to some serious storms.

Papa Lobo’s long-running feud with neighbor Mrs. Baylor
brings wild weather of its own, and Madalyn wonders just how far things will
go. But when fire threatens the community, Madalyn discovers that truly being
neighborly means more than just staying on your side of the street— it means
weathering tough conversations—and finding that together a family can pull
through anything.

Award-winning author Tanita S. Davis shows us that life
isn’t always clear, and that partly cloudy days still contain a bit of blue
worth celebrating.
