博客來Maya, Kendra, and Destiny thought their day off from school would be all fun and freedom-until a dusty little bookstore pulled them into an adventure they could never have imagined. One touch of an ancient book sends the three friends tumbling through time, landing them in some of the most powerful and unforgettable moments of Black history.
Suddenly, they’re standing with Claudette Colvin as she refuses to give up her seat, calculating alongside NASA’s Hidden Figures as rockets blaze toward the sky, walking through the busy streets of Greenwood’s Black Wall Street before its fall, and feeling the rhythm of Motown as music reshapes the world. Each leap through history is more breathtaking than the last, teaching them lessons of courage, resilience, and pride.
But history doesn’t give without taking something in return. With every step, the girls must face the truth: the past has power, and what they learn there could change their future forever.
Black Girls Day Off is a bold, magical, and inspiring young adult fantasy that celebrates friendship, honors Black history, and reminds every reader-especially young Black girls-that their story, their power, and their voice matter. Perfect for fans of Hidden Figures and The Sun Is Also a Star, this is history made unforgettable through the eyes of those stepping into it.
