Born at the turn of a new century, Dasani is named for the bottled water that comes to symbolise Brooklyn's gentrification and the shared aspirations of a divided city. As Dasani moves with her family from shelter to shelter, this story traces the passage of Dasani's ancestors from slavery to the Great Migration north.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDasani comes of age as New York City's homeless crisis is exploding. In the shadows of this new Gilded Age, Dasani leads her seven siblings through a thicket of problems—hunger, parental drug addiction, violence, housing instability, segregated schools and the constant monitoring of the child-protection system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen, at age thirteen, Dasani enrolls at a boarding school in Pennsylvania, her loyalties are tested like never before. Ultimately, she faces an impossible question: What if leaving poverty means abandoning the family you love?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy turns heartbreaking and revelatory, provocative and inspiring, \u003cem\u003eInvisible Child\u003c\/em\u003e tells an astonishing story about the power of resilience, the importance of family and the cost of inequality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45692094906604,"sku":"9781529156102","price":27.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781529156102_afae26a4-0271-4308-92b4-6ffff45e1fe5.jpg?v=1743825194","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/invisible-child","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
