Things I loved about this book: Bella's strong sense of self-worth and willingness to stand her ground The story feels authentically written and focuses on a homeless child and graffiti artist The caring adults are amazing about respecting Bella enough to let her make her own mistakes and decisions and learn from them Bella's extraordinary bank of knowledge -- not just of the history and the people in her neighborhood, but also the undercurrents that determine actions -- I think a lot of kids have this, but it is rarely portrayed It's an empowering story about changing the world and fighting entrenched power Advanced reader's copy provided by Edelweiss. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
