Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher of HarperCollins Children's Book, and the author Vichet Chum for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I enjoyed how Chum showed how trauma within a family can differ between siblings and how much Soma's older sister is characterized. Typically trauma is solely devoted to one individual member of the family, while Chum provides a portrait of how trauma affects the family. While the parents are underdeveloped as characters and rather flat, the real highlight is between the sisters and their relationship as it develops in the absence of their parents. I liked how casual Soma's queerness was and how the romance subplot was developed. I also liked the open ending and no matter whether her Ba returned and got citizenship or stayed, Soma will continue moving forward in her future. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

A searing, joyful YA debut about a queer Cambodian American teen’s journey to find her voice and step into her legacy, perfect for fans of Ibi Zoboi and Elizabeth Acevedo. Soma Kear’s verses have gone viral. Trouble is, she didn’t exactly think her slam poetry video through. All she knew was that her rhymes were urgent. On fire. An expression of where she was, and that place...was a hot mess. Following her Ba’s deportation back to Cambodia, everything’s changed. Her Ma is away trying to help Ba adjust to his new life, and her older sister has taken charge with a new authoritarian tone. Meanwhile, Soma’s trending video pushes her to ask if it’s time to level up. With her school’s spoken word contest looming, Soma must decide: Is she brave enough to put herself out there To publicly reveal her fears of Ba not returning To admit that things may never be the same With every line she spits, Soma searches for a way to make sense of the world around her. The answers are at the mic. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
