In The Tall World
Angel Van Atta
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Mella, her mom and little brother Petey make it out of that tiny house in the tall trees and face new obstacles as she learns to navigate the giant world. Mella soon realizes the bad man is still haunting her but in the form of the bad woman. Mella once again shows just how brave she is and tries to save those important to her just like a superhero. Will Mella once again conquer evil or will she succumb to the monsters that live in the shadows?
When I first found out there was a second installment to little Mella's story, I could not wait to read it. Angel was kind enough to add me to ARC group and allow me the privilege to read it prior to her May release. This story was heart wrenching just like the first one but worse in a lot of ways. Being hurt by those whom are supposed to love and protect you as a child is the ultimate betrayal that any child can endure. Angel manages to encapsulate a gut wrenching story from a child's POV perfectly. Stories of this topic are not for the faint of heart but can also be cathartic for those trying to break the cycles of generational trauma. I loved how we are given more back story to the time before Mella was living in the tiny house as well as fully rounding out to an ending that left me satisfied.
