Pride

Description
Zuri Benitez is all about Pride with a capital P. She has pride in her family, her Afro-Latino heritage, and especially her Brooklyn neighborhood of Bushwick. As her neighborhood becomes more gentryfied, Zuri is worried that she is losing a part of herself and her place in the world. This becomes more evident with the arrival of the wealthy Darcy family that moves into the large new house across the street. The Darcy sons are handsome but in a “bougie” way determines Zuri. For Zuri, life is changing to fast. Her sisters are all moving in different directions, college applications are due, and her neighborhood looks and feels different. What does this mean for Zuri, Bushwick and the Benitez family? Ibi Zoboi has written a brilliant retelling of Pride & Prejudice. A joy to read!
