I am sure this will sound like slander to most, but this book was difficult to get through for me. It was a bit slow-paced for my liking. I know it stands for important things, and for that, I appreciate it. However, I did not really enjoy this book.

Uplifting but in flashes shot through what is a sad story of continual abuse and neglect. Adunni is dedicated to getting an education and will stop at nothing, which makes her an admirable heroine for young readers. It's written in dialect, which I found a bit challenging BUT that is not meant as a criticism of the author or Daré's use of dialect; it made the story much richer.
