{"product_id":"your-plantation-prom-is-not-kelly-mcwilliams-9780316449939","title":"Your Plantation Prom Is Not Okay","description":"\u003cb\u003eThis sharp-witted, timely novel explores cancel culture, anger, and grief, and challenges the romanticization of America's racist past with humor and heart--for readers of \u003ci\u003eDear Martin\u003c\/i\u003e by Nic Stone and \u003ci\u003eGrown\u003c\/i\u003e by Tiffany D. Jackson.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Harriet Douglass lives with her historian father on an old plantation in Louisiana, which they've transformed into one of the South's few enslaved people's museums. Together, while grieving the recent loss of Harriet's mother, they run tours that help keep the memory of the past alive. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Harriet's world is turned upside down by the arrival of mother and daughter Claudia and Layla Hartwell--who plan to turn the property next door into a wedding venue, and host the offensively antebellum-themed wedding of two Hollywood stars. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Harriet's fully prepared to hate Layla Hartwell, but it seems that Layla might not be so bad after all--unlike many people, this California influencer is actually interested in Harriet's point of view. Harriet's sure she can change the hearts of Layla and her mother, but she underestimates the scale of the challenge...and when her school announces that prom will be held on the plantation, Harriet's just about had it with this whole racist timeline! Overwhelmed by grief and anger, it's fair to say she snaps. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Can Harriet use the power of social media to cancel the celebrity wedding and the plantation prom? Will she accept that she's falling in love with her childhood best friend, who's unexpectedly returned after years away? Can she deal with the frustrating reality that Americans seem to live in two completely different countries? And through it all, can she and Layla build a bridge between them? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kelly McWilliams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0316449938\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316449939\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Little, Brown Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/02\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.85w x 1.15d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/20\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2023 - Book Of Special Distinction\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2023 pg. 118\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2023 pg. 94\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/08\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2023 - Superior,Well Above Average","brand":"Kelly McWilliams","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44072437907711,"sku":"9780316449939","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_852a1db4-3240-4861-8294-3b0ba11a421c.jpg?v=1685441966","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/your-plantation-prom-is-not-kelly-mcwilliams-9780316449939","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
