A Girl Named Mister by Nikki Grimes
5.0
I feel that Grimes captures perfectly the fear, guilt, and shame that comes with “breaking a promise to God.”
This book is not for everyone. Some of the “religious” expressions may be offensive or off-putting to anyone who didn’t grow up in church and/or doesn’t have a strong understanding of Christianity. But, for me, it was like a walk back through my teenage years—and the outpouring of support Mister receives in the end is comforting and hope-filled.
