Requests:  0 Summary:  A vivid and devastating (The New York Times) portrait of an indomitable girl-from Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Andrea Elliott From its first indelible pages to its rich and startling conclusion, Invisible Child had me, by turns, stricken, inspired, outraged, illuminated, in tears, and hungering for reimmersion in its Dickensian depths. -Ayad Akhtar, author of Homeland Elegies ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times * ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Atlantic, The New York Times Book Review, Time, NPR, Library Journal In Invisible Child, Pulitzer Prize winner Andrea Elliott follows eight dramatic years in the life of Dasani, a girl whose imagination is as soaring as the skyscrapers near her Brooklyn shelter. In this sweeping narrative, Elliott weaves the story of Dasani's childhood with the history of her ancestors, tracing their passage from slavery to the Great Migration north. As Dasani comes of age, New York City's homeless crisis has exploded, deepening the chasm between rich and poor. She must guide her siblings through a world riddled by hunger, violence, racism, drug addiction, and the threat of foster care. Out on the street, Dasani becomes a fierce fighter to protect those who I love. When she finally escapes city life to enroll in a boarding school, she faces an impossible question: What if leaving poverty means abandoning your family, and yourself? A work of luminous and riveting prose, Elliott's Invisible Child reads like a page-turning novel. It is an astonishing story about the power of resilience, the importance of family and the cost of inequality-told through the crucible of one remarkable girl. Finalist for the PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.77569 Coates El Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.77569 Coates El Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.77569 Coates El Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.77569 Coates El Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Biography 362.77569 Coates El Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult New Books 362.77569 Coates El Lost 02/16/2023 Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 362.77569 Coates El Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.77569 Coates El Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
