The Red Pencil by Andrea Davis Pinkney is fictional literature with an intended audience of 13 to 17 years old. This story aims to present what war is and any societal problem will look like in a child’s eye.
This novel present’s an inspiring life of a Sudanese girl. I love how the author developed the characters. They have behaved consistently, which makes the story believable because they reflect the same truth in the real world.
The beginning chapters may seem unrelated to what the story is all about, but I’m impressed with how the author organized the plot in that way. Each chapter has a pivotal role to built the whole novel successfully, supporting each event to keep the reader in its context. The language pattern is friendly to all readers, with a word choice that suits the story’s period, place, and intended audience.
Pinkney employs subtle strokes to build interesting characters via the poetry of their observations and the poignancy of their situations, telling her narrative in first-person verse. This flowing and straightforward narrative of displacement in a complicated, war-torn country strikes precisely the perfect tone for middle-grade readers. The spirit and yearnings of Amira, the sincere heroine, are captured in Evans' fundamental illustrations.
The novel’s style is not in traditional form. It used stanza rather than prose. No chapter number is being displayed, and there are times that words are structured to form a particular figure. This novel has a theme of optimism, compassion, and courage.
MY SAY:
The Red Pencil had left me with incredible emotions. This story is such a soulful one, and you will surely love the character of Amira, her courage, optimism, and sweet personality. There are more characters that you will surely love. Through this story, I got acquainted with the culture in Sudan. Reading novels is not just reading; it is also a way of learning. This story sounds so real to me. It captures the magic of possibility despite difficulties.
Story Glance:
