I got to learn about the culture in the Dominican Republic (not current). The book was filled with figurative language. I liked this about the book because it almost made it more personal. It felt personal because the words used reminded me of situations I have been in. This book deserves the full five stars for it's illustrating words, and a heartbreaking ending. I would recommend this book to mainly students in middle school. This is an absolutely amazing book . I picked it up at an estate sale meaning it as gift for my Dominican co-workers daughter. I am so glad I took the time to read it. This is the story of a poor young girl who wants to write in a culture where words can be dangerous. It is the story about finding your voice, and the power of words -- and the strength of a family's love. I thought this was a great story with an even better narrator. Ana Rosa, the main character is an aspiring writer about to turn thirteen. Although sometimes life can be hard or bleak for Ana Rosa she overcomes her troubles by writing. It is truly her outlet, even though she is not legally allowed to write a book. Her love for her environment and family inspire her writing and help her stay positive. The book is beautifully and uniquely written and I love "Ana Rosa's" poems that prelude each chapter. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
