Invisible Child: Poverty, Survival, and Hope in an American City by Andrea Elliott

maggies's review against another edition

challenging emotional hopeful informative reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

Billed as a deep-dive into the life of one New York girl, Dasani, Invisible Child is so so much more. It provides context for her entire family, as well as the case workers, teachers, and advocates of all stripes who enter their lives over these eight years. Elliott's reporting of their lives, while unflinching, is tender and caring.
