Ms. Ballister’s Reviews > Fire in the Streets > Status Update

So far, pretty disappointed. Jumps right into the action of the protests at the Democratic National Convention. But very little context to give the reader reasons to care about this event and the characters’ roles. Then, the protagonist is sent to get change for $10 so she goes to a bank and she completely misses Bobby Seale’s speech. Big missed opportunity there. Then rioting starts and she walks home.
