Rosita är en 14-årig resandetjej som bor i en liten svensk småstad. Hon älskar att sjunga. När livet är som värst drömmer hon om att bli artist. Världen runt om henne är tuff och fylld av fördomar.

Tyckte att den började lite långsamt och att vissa av referenserna till populär kultur kändes lite gamla. Men halvvägs in vände det och jag uppskattade verkligen slutet.

This was kinda boring cause we read it in school but if I wasn’t forced to read it I think I would’ve actually liked it

It pretty good. I think this can be in real live for some teenagers. But Lena was really kind in the end but a little in the start to. Not my favorite book but it was pretty good.

This is a young adult book about Rosita, a fourteen year old Romani Swede. It follows a template similar to the book Wonder, where the main character feels like an outsider, makes some friends that they temporarily lose trust in, gets bullied and eventually shows how awesome they are in front of the whole school so that they prove that they're regular kids and get a standing ovation. It's a nice book that gives a voice to Swedish minorities such as Romani and Jewish families. The language is simple and straightforward, and while most of the characters feel one-dimensional Rosita seems like a real teenager. There are a couple editorial mistakes, like the fact that Farbor Oskar is called Farbor Oscar in the last half of the book. It's probably a good read for 12-15 year olds. The text that she reads in the end is moving and can spark a discussion about prejudice.

It was a long time ago. When I read this book, but I remember that I loved it. But I don't know if I should give it 4 or 5 stars.
