Two very different people from to very different planets are kindred mind pairings. This mind pairing was created so that everyone had someone who listened and cared for them regardless of who they were or how much they had. Joy Abara and Duke Felix Hamadi are connected but can't meet because of class separation. The Kindred by Alechia Dow is the story of how they find each other and what it truly means to be Kindred.

Author Alechia Dow loves many things including food, her child, and adventures. She worked as a former teen librarians and now loves to inspire other black girls (like herself) through her writing. (Alechia Dow. Mysite., n.d.)
This book has a lot of great lessons such as how a person should not be defined by their monetary worth. The book tells a story of two strong characters who are tied together through fate but because of differences, aren't allowed to see one another. The world that author Alechia Dow created is captivating and makes reader emersed in the dialogue and setting.
This book could be used in a book display such as "He is 10... but he is upper class rich and his family won't approve of our kindred pairing". I think these types of popular book displays are a lot of fun and something that teens can relate to. It is also an opportunity to give teens a new book to be excited about reading.
(Simone, 2022)
The prince and popper, but reversed and in space. It is a fun read with a world that is so involved. Both of the characters are ones you will root for through adversity. Give The Kindred by Alechia Dow a try and enjoy you time escaping from reality.
This book is new and is a lot of fun! It has great life lessons such as self worth and respect. I would recommend this book to youth and I am sure they would love it!
