In "The Only Black Girls in Town" by Brandy Colbert, we follow the journey of two girls, Alberta and Edie, who are the only Black girls in their predominantly white beach town. The story explores themes of friendship, identity, and belonging as they navigate the challenges of growing up and finding their voices. When a new girl moves to town, Alberta hopes for an instant connection, but what she discovers is more complicated than she anticipated. As they confront issues of race and community, both girls learn the importance of supporting one another and embracing their identities amidst adversity.
