In this sweeping narrative, Elliott weaves the story of Dasanis childhood with the history of her ancestors, tracing their passage from slavery to the Great Migration north. As Dasani comes of age, New York Citys homeless crisis has exploded, deepening the chasm between rich and poor. She must guide her siblings through a world riddled by hunger, violence, racism, drug addiction, and the threat of foster care. Out on the street, Dasani becomes a fierce fighter to protect those who I love. When she finally escapes city life to enroll in a boarding school, she faces an impossible question: What if leaving poverty means abandoning your family, and yourself?A work of luminous and riveting prose, Elliotts Invisible Child reads like a page-turning novel. It is an astonishing story about the power of resilience, the importance of family and the cost of inequality-told through the crucible of one remarkable girl.Winner of the J.
