Description
Perfect for fans of Jason Reynolds and Kelly Yang, readers will love this heartfelt and genuine story about building community, finding family, and the power of Black girl magic.
Bella “Unfadeable” Fades is determined to stay out of trouble. A wiser-than-her-years graffiti artist known for tagging walls and bridges in her Indianapolis neighborhood, the Land, Bella plans to spend her summer break laying low and steering clear of anyone who might tip off to social services that she's living on her own.
But keeping a low profile is all but impossible when Bella discovers people in high places are trying to defund the Land. She has to find a way to fight back.
Getting involved will mean putting herself out there -- making connections with unlikely friends and attracting potential enemies. But if Bella doesn't put her trust in her neighbors and learn how to bring her community together, her home -- and her future -- will never be the same.
One spray can. A neighborhood in danger. A voice that won't be silenced.
Art as Activism: Bella Fades isn't just a graffiti artist; she's a fighter who uses her spray cans to give her community a voice and expose the truth.Community Organizing: From uniting neighbors to facing down corrupt officials, Bella learns that the most powerful magic comes from people working together.Strong Female Lead: At thirteen and living on her own, Bella is a resourceful and resilient hero readers will root for from the very first page.Social Justice for Kids: A timely and important story that tackles gentrification, community, and the power of one kid to make a difference.
