(2) 4-6 Writing is as essential to Ana Rosa as breathing, yet--at only twelve--she knows her talent puts her in peril in the República Dominicana. As Papi bitterly observes, only President Balaguer may write books here. Ana Rosa's economically phrased first-person narrative is eloquent with imagery in this poetically structured, vividly imagined book about striving for freedom under an oppressive regime.
