Here's an example: "Two friends, one black one white. One crime, two different endings. Black and White is the story of two friends who commit a robbery so they can buy new basketball shoes, but when it goes wrong they realize how different they are."

Here's an example: "Black and White is an interesting book because it makes you think about how racism is still a part of the world. I like how the chapters were told from two different perspectives because you could really see how it affected each of them differently."

Here's an example: "If you like basketball or real-life stories that make you think, you would love Black and White by Paul Volponi."
