Darius & Twig by Walter Dean Myers

4.0

It's difficult to read a book like Darius and Twig. I find it hard because I want to hope that things get better for the characters, but knowing it's realistic fiction and that life isn't always like a Disney ending makes it tough. Darius is writing a story in the book and is trying to decide if it is hopeful or a story of despair. That was the tension in this book too. Darius has his writing and imagination and Twig has his running and his smile, but are these things enough to balance out against the negatives hammering away at them?

This was another great story from Meyers. Not a big fan of the epilogue, but overall enjoyed this one.
