    Sharon Flake

    Hardcover (Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, June 1, 2001)
    Thirteen-year-old Raspberry Hill is always scheming about ways to make money. She's starved for the green stuff, and will do just about anything legal to get it-wash cars, sell rotten candy, skip lunch, and clean houses. She is obsessed with making money, having money, smelling money, and touching money. Raspberry is determined that she and her momma will never be homeless again. When they are approved for a Section 8 move to a nice house in Pecan Landings, Raspberry thinks things are looking up. But after their apartment in the projects is robbed, and protest by the rich folks in Pecan Landings force them out of their new house, Raspberry must do everything in her power to keep her world from crumbling.

  • Little Black Boys and Girls, We Will Fight for You

    Sharon Blake

    eBook (Life Chronicles Publishing, June 24, 2020)
    Dear Little Black boys, and girls, I want all children to know that racism must cease to exist. The only way that will happen is if we all help change the narrative of what children see and experience. You deserve a healthy mental environment to live in so you can grow, one that is free of oppression and hatred based on your skin color. I hope that one day the issues in this book will not need to be discussed or taught to your children and grandchildren. Not forgetting what was, however, no longer living with the burden of explaining to someone how wrong white privilege and racism are. So, little Black boys and girls, we fight this fight for you! Love Always, Sharon

    Sharon Flake

    Audio CD (Scholastic Audio Books, Sept. 30, 2014)
    Bestselling and award-winning author, Sharon G. Flake, delivers a mystery set in the 1950s that eerily blends history, race, culture, and family.Octobia May is girl filled with questions. Her heart condition makes her special - and, some folks would argue, gives this ten-year-old powers that make her a "wise soul." Thank goodness for Auntie, who convinces Octobia's parents to let her live in her boarding house that is filled with old folks. That's when trouble, and excitement, and wonder begin. Auntie is non-traditional. She's unmarried and has plans to purchase other boarding homes and hotels. At a time when children, and especially girls, are "seen, not heard," Auntie allows Octobia May the freedom and expression of an adult. When Octobia starts to question the folks in her world, an adventure and a mystery unfold that beg some troubling questions: Who is black and who is "passing" for white? What happens when a vibrant African American community must face its own racism?And, perhaps most important: Do vampires really exist? In her most unusual and probing novel yet, Sharon G. Flake takes us on a heart-pumping journey
