The second release by the author of Genesis Begins Again (5 paws, August 2021), and another really good story! Williams's sophomore (which means her second) release, Mid-Air, is written in verse, which is a favorite of mine (so already points for that), and she is solid at creating meaningful, realistic characters that become "you", the reader.
Main character Isaiah takes us through the summer when one of his best friends is killed, and Isaiah believes he could have prevented it. The world around him seems to be telling him to be tougher, while he is trying to figure out who he really is and how to be that person, not just at home in his closet, but with everyone all the time. World records, rock music, bikes and boards, plants...Williams reveals a unique, sensitive, smart young man to us, the reader, with style and voice. It took a little while for this book to come out, but worth the wait! Can't wait to see what she writes next! While you wait, read this! 5 paws!
