Stuck in the Middle: Writing Grown in Brooklyn (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781008921283)

A group of students from New York City's temporary housing chose to embark on a journey of critical reflection about what matters most in their daily lives. Against the backdrop of the 2020-2021 school year, students used their voice to write narratives that highlight important themes such as family ties, overcoming discrimination, and new beginnings. As the title suggests, their stories are grown from Brooklyn, a locale that has shaped their lived experiences. In this book, student writers shine the light on the positive, focusing on their stories of strength and hope in uncertain times. Their persevering spirit comes through in the stories they have created and recalled, from beautiful memories of holiday dinners to fictional stories of teenage life. Within the covers of this book, you will find stories of positivity and hope born from authentic connections and a willingness to display who they are to others.
