INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Suma, Nova Ren

Dani Noir

(2) 4-6 Thirteen-year-old Dani sees the world through the lens of noir films that play at her small-town movie theater. That makes it easier to cast her dad as villain and her weepy mom as victim in their divorce; it also allows Dani to see herself in the role of detective, not meddler. Narrator Dani is a believably flawed character with an authentic voice.
