The Jumbies, by Tracey Baptiste

Grades: 3-5

This spooky fantasy book rooted in Caribbean folktales features a young girl trying to save her island from ghost-like entities called “Jumbies.” Perez says children this age love fantasy and this book is a slightly different take on a familiar genre. “I love that she’s a great protagonist; a very awesome example of a strong female,” Perez said.

Happy Friday!

In honor of Black History Month, I wanted to highlight an amazing company.  1000 Black Girl Books was launched by eleven-year-old Marley Dias. 1000 Black Girl Books exists to match young readers with books that reflect protagonists as diverse as they are. Please take a look around, especially if you're looking for a new AR book to read. :)
