When six middle school classmates are gathered together for a weekly chat, they fear this new unfamiliar and wonder what their teacher thinks they are supposed to get out of the experience. After all, they don't imagine they have much in common. But recently one of their fathers has disappeared and this has cast a pall over the class.

Review of 'Harbor me' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

Very good but hard to live up to Brown Girl Dreaming, the first Woodson I read. This book made me cry more than once and my overwhelming reaction was that I think teachers 4th grade through 7th grade should be teaching it in schools, especially if the student body is predominantly white. Jacqueline Woodson is just an incredibly talented and nourishing voice for any age.
