Notes From Your Bookseller

Invisible Child tackles the question of what power potential has against poverty. It's the story of one young girl, her brilliant imagination and the various, ongoing forces determined to keep her down. This is a compulsive read, rich in prose and infinitely compelling.

PULITZER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • ONE OF BARACK OBAMA’S FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR • A “vivid and devastating” (The New York Times) portrait of an indomitable girl—from acclaimed journalist Andrea Elliott

“From its first indelible pages to its rich and startling conclusion, Invisible Child had me, by turns, stricken, inspired, outraged, illuminated, in tears, and hungering for reimmersion in its Dickensian depths.”—Ayad Akhtar, author of Homeland Elegies
