Read: Flip by @ngoziu.com. A wonderful take on the Freaky Friday concept. If you loved Bunt!, you should check this one out! If you haven't read Bunt!, you should read Bunt! too, it's great.

Cover of Flip by Ngozi Ukazu. Chichi, a Black high school student with blue eyes and a blue T-shirt, is wearing a mask of Flip, a brown-haired white guy, and giving a sidelong glance to the audience. There's a sort of anime speed line effect.

Just binged Flip. This is a book I wish I had when I was a teen. I'll have more articulate words later, but it's truly a treasure.

Jimmy the frog, wearing a white suit and bowtie, stands in front of a billboard depicting himself in the same getup. The billboard says "Cool... James Cool Cologne". A worried-looking Heathcliff looks over at Jimmy, and Iggy says "How are sales?"

Happy Book Birthday to FLIP, which has THREE starred reviews!!

From bestselling author Ngozi Ukazu comes a thrilling and fantastical tale about self-acceptance, black girlhood, and how walking a mile in someone else’s shoes can teach you how to finally see yourself. bit.ly/3IstIgk

A book cover. The title is Flip by Ngozi Ukazu. Text under the title reads: Seeing herself, through her crush's eyes.

The cover depicts a teenage girl with darker skin and light eyes glancing over her shoulder as she lifts a mask from her face. The mask depicts a flat drawing of a brown hair white boy with blue eyes.
