The Red Pencil by Andrea Davis Pinkney

4.0

4 STARS!!!


The writing was so beautiful but heartbreaking at the same time. The illustrations were a huge part of his story and blended so well with the verse writing style. Amira is such a strong and determined main character and I admire her so much for her strength and drive, especially during such a horrifying time in her young life. Andrea has a way with words that captivate and dig deep into you and make you feel. I look forward to reading more of her amazing work in the future.
