The Aves (PB) (2024)

The Aves invites readers to follow young protagonist, Zora Hunter, as she tackles the trials and treasures, the triumphs, of girlhood, sisterhood, absentee fatherhood, and most often the power of The Aves, a u-shaped borough in Los Angeles that is her neighborhood.

Additionally, The Aves examines the lives of Ave residents while also keying in on a local death trap, an intersection without a stop sign, which victimizes Ave passersby and eventually results in the death of an Avenue child.
