(3) YA Alone after her mother's death, Sandinista reaches a breaking point under her teacher's cruelty. She ditches school, gets a job at a vintage clothing store, and comes to terms with her grief with the help of another lost soul, Bradley, recently rebuffed by his ex-boyfriend. Sharp narration, unique characters, and strong emotional resonance give the story staying power.
