Pride



Book #8 Read in 2019
Pride by Ibi Zoboi

This is a retelling of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and is well done.  It was a bit slow to start, so I don't know how many of high school readers would stick with it.  Set in neighborhood near Brooklyn, there is a girl who thinks that the Darcy boys are too rich for her neighborhood.  The Darcy boy thinks her family are money grubbers.  And star-crossed lovers happen.  It has romance, interesting characters and a relevant comment on society.
