A review by akamm
Little Family, by Ishmael Beah
4.0
Listened to the audiobook and finished it in one day. The story is short and it was easy to become immersed in when listening to the narration.
The story follows a group of young adults / children as they navigate life on the streets. They are a chosen family. The book ends up really focusing on Khoudi, as she starts to seek acceptance from a group of rich kids.
Like others, I wish there was more of a balance of characters and I wish the reader learned more about other members of the little family. I also have mixed feelings about the end. It was rather abrupt, but I was most upset because I could have lived in this world for longer!
Overall, a short listen and I would read more from this author because the writing style was pleasant. I would also recommend the audiobook. The narrator was great!
