[CASL-L] Racial identity book recommendation for a 9th grade boy

[Valerie DiLorenzo]

This student's mother is white and father is black. His mother says he's
just beginning to struggle with his racial identity. I have Sharon Draper's
*Blended* and some others that might be possibilities, but looking for book
with a boy as main character. Anyone know of one?

Thank you,
~Val
