Never Grow Up Tarel Naim Austin

Based in the real time setting of spring and summer 2020, in the middle of the battle of coronavirus, comes Never Grow Up. Never Grow Up is a BLACK fantasy, fictional tale of an 8-year old boy and his 16-year old sister, who are in a unbeatable battle with their strict parents over freedom and rights they "believe" they should have. A trip to Atlantic City, New Jersey, in which they are not allowed to attend is the icing on the cake for them to ultimately say they no longer want to be kids. They wish for adulthood, and when their wish is granted they bit off more than they can chew. That's if they can afford anything to chew on. In this super-fun, hip-hop thriller, Zajee and Nadi trade places with their parents, and get a harsh reality of the what it's like to be a Black man and Black woman raising a family in America-in the wackiest, most outlandish way. This book really has NO chill!
