The Boy Who Painted the World

Reviewed by Oscar

Rating: High Five

Who I'd Recommend to: Fans of Blackbird Fly, Paint the Wind, and other inspiring stories.

Synopsis (from Amazon): Indigo is a boy with a dream. He spends his mornings in a refrigerator box, his afternoons shoveling snow, and his nights in the basement of a homeless shelter. But during every free moment, he draws and dreams of becoming a famous artist. His best friend Jade looks after him, but she is arrested for shoplifting and he’s left all alone. With his box of pencils under his arm, he sets out on a quest to search for Jade and discovers a whole new world… full of the art he loves. His journey brings him friendship, family, and the courage to hold onto his dreams.

Thoughts:  This book was out of this world. I thought this book would be okay, but nothing prepared me for this. I loved how Melody J. Breman made every single thing in the book, whether it was small or big, seem like you knew what was happening, when you really didn't. There was tons of surprises. I also loved the main character - Indigo - is always able to find the silver lining, or look on the bright side of things. This was very inspiring, making Indigo a great role model. For example, when Jane, his best freind, (spoiler) got arested for shoplifting, Indigo never gives up, and, even in the worst of times, still follows his dreams. Overall, this was an amazing, emotional, realistic fiction book.

Disclosure: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a review.
