Ari's Aria
- eBook
- Paperback
Synopsis
Young lives. First loves. And a classic American period enlivened by jukeboxes and chocolate malts.
Ever since seventeen-year-old Ari moved to the thriving Black community of West Hill this past fall, she’s been well-known around the neighborhood. Granted, that doesn’t mean that she and her family are popular, exactly. Even so, this summer, Ari wishes to join other teenage girls in West Hill’s annual pageant: a pageant where Ari would possibly look out of place as the only biracial contestant.
On a different note, she’s been at a loss about how to handle a growing crush of hers. The guy she cares for is athletic, comical, and well-liked, but he doesn’t seem to see Ari as anything more than one of his pals.
Being the new and different girl in the area hasn’t been easy. So, what might it take for Ari to begin feeling like she’s truly at home with the people of West Hill—and that perhaps it’s good for her to be different?
Come along on a memorable milestone journey—here in this nostalgic nod to the bygone era of “malt shop” books.
