![]() Fabiola moves from Haiti to Detroit to live with her cousins at the crossroads of American Street and Joy Road. She is quickly caught up in familial and political conflicts as she learns to navigate her new environment. Fabiola walks a precarious line as her actions have the potential to put others in or out of prison, and in or out of this world. I love that this novel presents the perspective of a teenage girl moving to Detroit; the city itself plays a role in this book. I also really enjoy how Zoboi ingrains Fabiola's religious and spiritual beliefs into the narrative. Fabiola is a complete character who does not make concessions regarding her most important traits, which is both inspiring and realistic.
