Naomis Two

I always enjoy books with original concepts and Naomis Too certainly has that.

It’s about a blended family with two girls, both named Naomi, who are about the same age and in the same grade at Middle School.

But one is African-American and the other is White.

The book was written by two authors, each one writing from the point of view of one of the Naomis in alternating chapters. I sometimes had difficulty remembering which one was which, but that didn’t stop me from enjoying the book.

And the authors, Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich and Audrey Vernick are also of different races, so they know what they’re writing about.

I was drawn in by the plot, and was surprised to learn it was the second one in a series because it certainly stands alone.
