"MOMENTO DE DESPERTAR". ME VOLTEO. QUIEN DIJO ESO? AL OTRO LADO DE LA CALLE, LO VEO. TENUE COMO LA LLOVIZNA. UN FANTASMA? COMO YO? Jerome, de doce anos, es la mas reciente victima, asesinada por un policia blanco que confunde su pistola de juguete con una amenaza. Como fantasma, el observa la devastacion que se ha desatado en su familia y comunidad a raiz de lo que ven como un asesinato injusto y brutal. Una vez mas, Jewell Parker Rhodes entrelaza habilmente capas historicas y sociopoliticas en una historia apasionante y conmovedora sobre como los ninos y las familias enfrentan las complejidades del mundo actual. "TIME TO WAKE UP." I SPIN AROUND. WHO SAID THAT? ACROSS THE STREET, I SEE HIM. WISPY LIKE SOFT RAIN. A GHOST? LIKE ME? Twelve-year-old Jerome is the latest victim, shot by a white police officer who mistakes his toy gun for a threat.
