Librarian Ashley Bennett recommends the book “Cost of Knowing”

Life, years after the accident, seems to be normal enough for Alex.  He and his brother, Isaiah, live with their Aunt. Alex has a job and a girlfriend. Alex tries his best to be a good brother to Isaiah by keeping an eye on him, checking in on him when Isaiah seems to want to be alone, even protecting him.  

But, what Alex is hiding from everyone else is that anything he touches, allows him to see into the future.  

Seeing his girlfriend break up with him in the future, shocks him.  But, when he sees his little brother’s death, that changes everything for Alex.  

Now Alex is trying to race against time to figure out how to stop his brother’s death from happening.  

On the way he learns new lessons about friendships, love, and community.  

Will his girlfriend, Talia, still love him when she finds out?  

How does he keep his brother safe…more importantly, ALIVE? 

Your community should rally around you as you are struggling, right?  

Read from Alex’s point of view to see if he can find a way to save his brother and his other relationships, all while dealing with microaggressions and racism from his neighborhood community.  

This book is so powerful!  Alex and Isaish’s brotherly love is moving.  What the two boys deal with in the aftermath of their parents death is tough, especially with Alex’s anxiety.
