Hidden Girl: The True Story of a Modern-Day Child Slave by Shyima Hall, Lisa Wysocky

2.0

I tried to enjoy this book, but something prevented me from doing so. I think the story is amazing - everything she went through and everything she accomplished is absolutely astonishing and I'm so happy for her. But this book was so repetitive and the writing was so dry, I just couldn't feel any emotion. She would simply state how she was feeling, but never explained anything fully. Never made the reader feel what she felt. I understand that it's a hard story to tell, I understand that she struggles with writing English - and I give her so much credit for doing it, but I feel like this story could have been much more compelling.
