This sequel to Two Naomis finds new stepsisters Naomi Marie (who's black) and Naomi E. (white) adjusting to their blended family's changing dynamic. At their Brooklyn middle school, Naomi Marie experiences racism; meanwhile, Naomi E. feels pressure to be as academically successful as her stepsister. The Naomis must learn how to advocate for themselves and each other. The story unfolds authentically through both girls' points of view in alternating first-person chapters.
