challenging dark emotional informative sad tense slow-paced

5.0

This book truly changed the way I see the world and my privilege. It was an incredible read, and we should all be outraged. Dasani is truly a wonderful girl that we get to see grow into a woman and it’s impossible not to see part of yourself in her.

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.
