Cinnamon Girl
Cinnamon Girl: letters found inside a cereal box | Juan Felipe Herrera
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
From U.S. Poet Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera comes the story of one teens emotional journey in the days after 9/11, and a personal look at the culture of Loisaida, the Lower East Side of Manhattan. This emotional and stirring novel won the Amricas Award and is written in a unique and arresting style. When the Twin Towers fell, New York City was blanketed by dust. On the Lower East Side, Yolanda, the cinnamon girl, makes her manda, her promise. She vows to gather as much of the dust as she can. Maybe if she can return it to Ground Zero, she can comfort all the voices. Maybe that will help Uncle DJ open his eyes again. As tragedies from her past mix in the air of an unthinkable present, Yolanda searches for hope. Maybe its buried somewhere in the silvery dust of Alphabet City.

I was enjoying this novel in verse and then I started asking myself what I was reading and then the ending was good again.
