Thirteen-year-old Kenson Adewale is caught between two worlds. The son of a proud Haitian mother and a confident Nigerian father, he has always been surrounded by rich culture, vibrant traditions, and stories of resilience. But after his family moves from Brooklyn to the suburbs of Hillsworth, Kenson finds himself struggling to fit in. At home, his parents celebrate their heritage. His sixteen-year-old brother, Femi, is e¿ortlessly charismatic, confident, and proud of their roots. Yet, at his new school, Kenson is met with subtle stereotypes and the silent pressure to either assimilate or stand out. Caught between honoring his family's expectations and blending into his new environment, Kenson feels lost and uncertain. When a school project forces Kenson to explore his lineage, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery. Diving into his family's history, he learns about the resilience of the Haitian revolutionaries and the community and strength of his Yoruba culture. Along the way, he gains a deeper appreciation for the duality of his identity, finding strength in the same cultures he once tried to suppress. The Rhythm of Two Worlds is a coming-of-age story about identity, friendship, and finding your voice. Perfect for middle grade and young teen readers who are learning to balance family, culture, and self-discovery.
