Join us as we discuss “The Only Black Girls in Town” by Brandy Colbert.

Book summary: “Beach-loving surfer Alberta has been the only black girl in town for
years. Alberta’s best friend, Laramie, is the closest person she has to a sister, but there
are some things even she can’t understand. When the bed and breakfast across the
street finds new owners, Alberta is ecstatic to learn the family is black–and they have a
twelve-year-old daughter just like her.

When the girls discover a box of old journals in Edie’s attic, they team up and secretly
begin investigating who the journals belonged to and why they got left behind. As the
mystery unravels, the girls are led to the painful truth behind the journals and the
shocking discovery of the story within.”
