A review by lalanier
Ninth Ward by Jewell Parker Rhodes

4.0

Found it to be a good story for an audience of young readers, and anyone really. It deals with the realities for many children in a way that doesn't hide some of the harshness of childhood. I found heartwarming, and from a sincere place. Lanesha is a wonderfully written character and I appreciate that these kinds of works exist for our youth.
