The Color of My Words is by Lynn Joseph. What 12-year-old Ana Rosa Hèrnandez wants more than anything is a notepad of her very own. Writing is her passion. In the República Dominicana, however, only the President can write books. Then the government decides to buy all the land in the village to build hotels, people decide to stand up for themselves. Ana Rosa's brother is appointed spokesperson for the cause, but when rebellion begins will he be safe? Will anyone? Joseph paints a vibrant picture of life on this Caribbean island. An excellent read.
Ratings: 7th grade - 8 out of 10.
