Sonia’s narrative is honest and explorative, and she asks many of the questions that I know I was afraid to ask as a teen (at one point she asks, “Where you supposed to sit if you were too dark to be white and too light to be black?”). Sonia’s story isn't black and white, and I liked that she suffers as the victim, takes her turn as the bystander, and even has moments where she acts as the bully, and the reader gets to experience all of it with her. The Whole Story of Half a Girl is a great novel to get girls thinking about the three roles that they might play in bullying – the bully, the victim, and the bystander – and what it feels like to cycle through a turn as each one. ![]() Sonia has no idea how to put all of her pieces together.
