First, this is a book about gentrification in Brooklyn and what happens as a neighborhood is pushed out to make way for high-rises and expensive real estate. It is also a scary story about what could be happening to the people who are being pushed out. Sydney doesn't know what it going on in her neighborhood but she doesn't like it. A walking history tour that doesn't tell her people's history or what she knows the historical points of the neighborhood really are. This is happening all over the country but then there is something darker and more sinister that is going on. Alyssa Cole does a good job of showing us the side we don't normally see of gentrification and then kicks it up a notch. 4 stars
