OLDER FICTION
Chibbaro, Julie

Into the Dangerous World

(2) YA Illustrated by JM Superville Sovak. After her father burns their Staten Island commune home to the ground with himself inside, Ror, her mother, and her sister move to unwelcoming 1980s Manhattan. Always an artist herself, Ror meets an African American street artist in a graffiti crew that welcomes her into its ranks. Ror's narration is distant but subtly poignant; Sovak's trippy, graffiti-like illustrations fit Ror's multifaceted artistic identity.
