Slay by Brittney Morris

 

    Kiera Johnson is an honor student and one of only 4 Black students at her school, but when she goes home she joins thousands of Black gamers worldwide as Nubian personas in the game Slay.  No one knows that Kiera is the game developer.  Then when a Kansas teen is killed over a dispute within the game, the mainstream media labels it as a racist, exclusionist, violent hub for thugs and criminals.  When a troll infiltrates the game, Kiera must do whatever she can to protect what she has created.

     This book was excellent!  It covered topics that are very relevant and not covered enough in popular literature.  I highly recommend this book!

 Rating: 4/5 stars
