The Road to Paris Nikki Grimes 9780399245374 Books

When your foster mother locks you up in a closet and beats you regularly, escape becomes the only real option. Where do you go when there’s nowhere left to run?

Eight-year-old Paris and her older brother Malcom guessed their best chance was Grandmother. Mother was too drunk and lonely to care. Grandma coolly informed them that she had already raised her children. Within three days, Malcom was dragged from Grandma’s apartment as tears streamed down his face. On that morning, Children’s Services took away the only person in Paris’ life who really cared.

The next day, Paris found herself in a train racing along the Hudson River. Her case worker promised Paris she would like her new foster care family. The Lincolns had a reputation for being “good people”. She shivered when she entered her tiny bedroom. Memories of the brutal weeks locked in a closet flooded over her. What was going to happen to her in her new home?

Abandoned and defenseless, Paris faces the future with a deep fear and loneliness born from the unending rejections that defined her life. Trust comes hard, especially after racism shatters one of her first friendships in the new city. Paris experiences moments of beauty like stars emerging in the night sky. The grand notes of a church organ stun her. An invitation to sing in the choir fills her with joy. As the days pass, slowly Paris learns what it’s like to live in a house without fear. When the telephone rings and her own mother’s voice echoes in her ears, Paris knows she has big decisions ahead of her. This time, it’s finally a path of her own choosing.

Nikki Grimes is a voice for children who know the pain of abandonment, racism, and vicious cruelty. Her story rises with compelling clarity, drawing us into the quiet hope that Paris will find the love and security of a real home and a loving family.

The Road to Paris is a Coretta Scott King Honor Book. Nikki Grimes is a New York Times bestselling author and recipient of the 2017 Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal, the 2016 Virginia Hamilton Literary Award, and the 2006 NCTE Award for Excellence in Poetry for Children.

The Road to Paris Nikki Grimes 9780399245374 Books Reviews

The Road To Paris by Nikki Grimes deserves 4stars because it is easy for children(8+) to connect and/ or relate to the characters. I liked this book because it is showing how to love and that you should keep God close at all times. I would recommend this book for 4th- 7th graders because it is about a young girl so younger people can relate to it.
good reading.
I liked about the book is that it gets better every single time and i didn't like that she had to pick who she should go with at the end because that's a lot of pressure on her.I dedicate this book to someone well I don't really no.I gave it a 5 because THIS IS THE BEST BOOK I EVER READ
Good read for a 4th grader.

We enjoyed this story very much and the quality was just fine. We are happy with our purchase.
When a child, a child who loves to read and does so voraciously, asks for a specific book and then tells you that you really need to read it, do it. Some of the tween and young adult literature out there is fantastic and I would include The Road To Paris as required reading for third or fourth grade up. I absolutely loved this story and the way the author handled some difficult subjects, foster care and why we need it. It's not always pleasant but the author did a very good job of developing the character of Paris and showing how the system SHOULD work. And just have to say, I love this author's work and have several of her books.
