The Parker Inheritance is a wonderful book that opens your eyes to discrimination against people of a different race or sexual orientation. The main character is a black girl named Candice who has just moved to her grandmother’s house with her mom after her parents’ divorce. Candice quickly makes friends with a boy named Brandon who might be gay. Somewhere in the attic of her grandmother’s house Candice and Brandon find a letter from her grandmother’s past. Her grandmother passed away three years ago and Candice is eager to learn about her grandmother’s past. In the letter their is a puzzle and whomever solves the puzzle is promised a small amount of money. The kids try to solve the puzzle but are slowed down by people who are racist and/or make fun of people who have the “wrong” sex orientation . They eventually solve the puzzle and get the money. Candice finds out her father is gay but doesn’t care. The Parker Inheritance is one of the best books I’ve read this summer.
