Black and White by Paul Volponi

Black and White was a rather interesting book. The plot was very well developed and flowed rather well considering it was written from two different points of view. The two main characters Eddie and Marcus have been best friends for many years and have been able to get over the obvious fact that Eddie is white and Marcus is black. However, when they find themselves in a whole heap of trouble, their friendship will be tested in ways it has never been before and they will finally have to overcome the issue of race that has plagued them for their whole lives. I found the book interesting, but was not overly impressed by the style of writing. At some points it was difficult to follow whose point of view the story was being told from, but overall it was a rather sweet book. I would recommend it to anyone who likes suspenseful books set in urban areas.
