But keeping a low profile is all but impossible when Bella discovers people in high places are trying to defund the Land. She has to find a way to fight back.

Getting involved will mean putting herself out thereâ??making connections with unlikely friends and attracting potential enemies. But if Bella doesn't put her trust in her neighbors and learn how to bring her community together, her homeâ??and her futureâ??will never be the s… (altro)

Recurring Themes: community, gangs (although not named as that), art, independence, graffiti, politics, political power, investigation, family, loss, mental health

Controversial Issues:

Personal Thoughts: Bella is an incredible person who makes mistakes and learns from them. I wish there was a map of the area in the front or back of the book instead of all of the description which slowed it down. All of the characters are incredible.

Genre: realistic fiction

Pacing: slower because of the explanation of all of the politics and neighborhood

Frame:
Storyline:

Activity: create a map of Bella's world

Readalike: Front Desk because of the amount of description of the town and politics plus a main character that is easy to connect with emotionally ( )

RGG: Amazing main and supporting characters. Wonder if the story relies too much on inside baseball for most target readers to understand the plot of corrupt city officials. Reading Interest: 11-13.

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
