Blood in the Water
Tiffany D. Jackson
Kaylani McKinnon, a girl from Brooklyn, spends the summer with family friends in Martha’s Vineyard. She finds beaches, ice cream, local Black history, and a few welcoming kids her age, but also feels out of place in a large, status-conscious household. After a popular teenage boy dies, the community is shaken and Kaylani resolves to investigate. The mystery unfolds alongside Martha’s Vineyard history, elitism within Black communities, wrongful incarceration, and Kaylani’s interest in a future legal career.
