Eb & Flow

Eb & Flow follows seventh graders Ebony and De'Kari, known as Flow, who end up serving a ten-day at-home suspension after a cafeteria fight that neither of them thinks was their fault. Told in alternating verse, the novel reveals their parallel lives — single-parent homes, tight finances, and complicated sibling dynamics — as the two slowly come to realize they have far more in common than they ever imagined. Award-winning author Kelly J. Baptist's first novel in verse is an excellent choice for students because it explores conflict resolution, empathy, and self-reflection through two authentic, fully realized characters whose growth feels earned and real.
