The Color of My Words

"'We must fight them with our words.'"
This was a great read, especially for middle-grade readers. It transports the reader to Sosúa, Dominican Republic, where the MC is a 12-year-old writer in her town.
The book is a testament to the power of words and family. The writing was lyrical and descriptive. I liked how each chapter started with a poem, and there was Spanish language and Domincan culture sprinkled throughout.
The book deals with difficult issues like poverty and government violence in a way that makes it accessible to younger readers, without diminishing the pain or reality of it.
The Color of My Words is a strong book. I look forward to reading the author’s others.
Recommended for fans of Elizabeth Acevedo.
