Poignant - JenEllen
Picked this up at a book festival last year and finally decided to read it. It's a poignant exploration of homelessness, with the author skillfully providing a distinctive viewpoint through the eyes of a child. Suitable for middle to high school-aged readers and adults alike, the narrative delves into the gritty reality of life on the streets, unflinchingly portraying the darkness that can accompany such an existence. The author's ability to balance the realistically dark aspects with glimpses of optimism creates a compelling narrative that fosters empathy and understanding. A thought-provoking read that bridges the gap between age groups while shedding light on a crucial societal issue.
