It was a very descriptive title.

"It was a very dark book but it was very interesting. I learned lots of life lessons, such as bullying is not ok. It also helped me realize that while lots of people think that racism is dying out, it is still very present in the world."

To a reader

"This was a gift for one of my granddaughters she was very happy to receive this book"

— Marg D. (5/5)

An interesting commentary and insight on the difficulties of rising above your station when the world keeps rejecting you.

"Ace of Spades provides an interesting story of two kids of African American descent that and how although they come from wildly different backgrounds, how they both struggle the same way in how the world views them. With literally all the cards stacked against them it is interesting to see how they handle the conflict they are thrown in and although the ending is a little too neat of a closure, it is nice to see both of them overcome the obstacles thrown their way."

— Mayyyyyy (4/5)
