“A Girl Named Mister” was sent to me by Blink – a
division of Zondervan Publishing – free of charge, in exchange for my honest
review.
“A Girl Named Mister” is a Christian fiction novel,
written by Nikki Grimes. I love the way
the book is written almost like a poetry anthology. She writes from the point of view of someone
from the Bible and her character. In
this book, it is Mary and “Mister” – both young pregnant girls dealing with
their pregnancies.
Of course, Mary is dealing with telling her parents
and Joseph that she is pregnant by the Holy Spirit. It talks of when she goes to see Elizabeth
and when she tells Joseph. “Mister” (Her
name was Mary Rudine – initials MR, so people called her Mister…cute
huh!?!) Mister tells of her journey of
going too far, being dumped, and having a child.
I would recommend this book to middle schoolers
up. I think the subject matter may not
be understood by younger ones. I would
say use discretion.
