I Am Alfonso Jones
Review
By Daniel José Older, author of SHADOWSHAPER and SHADOWHOUSE FALL
I can't say enough how important, beautiful, heartbreaking, and tremendous a book this is. Read it. Gift it to a young person in your life. Shout it from the rooftops. I Am Alfonso Jones is a crucial part of the conversation and it demands to be heard.
