As Dasani comes of age, New York City's 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? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A work of luminous and riveting prose, Elliott's \u003ci\u003eInvisible Child\u003c\/i\u003e reads like a page-turning novel.
