Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Pink is careful to never allow the story itself to fall into agenda-pushing. Instead, she allows Toya to explore the gray areas teens negotiate as their identities shift and as their belief systems are challenged.” —Booklist (starred review)
“Dives into thorny issues of identity, self-image, and the internal effects of racism in a strikingly frank way.” —Publishers Weekly
“Teens will identify with the wishful thinking and longing of the protagonist feels…Family values, community standards, today’s education system, and the importance of compassion for others are all addressed here.” —VOYA
“Pink illustrates how kids of all races bully one another to establish a pecking order but also shows that the characters are free to find their own identities. The author does not shy away from rape culture…[but] balances the more serious moments of her novel with the antics of Toya and Alex’s parents, who just cannot seem to get along, and the occasional appearance of a personable Jesus who reminds Toya of a ‘cool English teacher.’” —Children’s Literature
“Narrator Adenrele Ojo brings a strong delivery to this unusual story…a fairy tale with a gritty underside that examines racial and gender identity and self-image.” —AudioFile
