A review by molly_dettmann
Girl of the Southern Sea by Michelle Kadarusman

4.0

Loved Nia’s story and how hope and help from some unlikely people got her through such terrible times, mostly caused by her drunken father. This was an interesting look at life for a teen girl in India. The writing is very accessible, lots of simple and controlled language and short sentences throughout, but the topics and what Nia dealt with were mature enough for a teen to get into.
