Violet Diamond’s Spinning World
By: Charlotte Dattilo I see her standing there with her long dark dreadlocks and her African garb on. She is beautiful. I run up to the crowd around her, all the people taller than me are not letting me to her; I feel like I am being swallowed. Then I push through all the people, and she looks at me smiling, until her face drops. Will she say anything? In The Blossoming Universe of Violet Diamond by Brenda Woods, Violet Diamond has no clue about her dad’s side of the family, but she will not be giving up on trying to find the family that she has been dying to meet for all these years. Woods’ intentions were to show how Violet got to know, love, and help her grandmother in any way possible. I love how she really describes the relationship ups and downs with Violet’s grandmother. It also shows her meeting other family, and some of them are annoying and hard to deal with when so many things are changing very fast. It really shows how much you can start to love someone and hate someone in such little time. The parts when Violet and her grandmother cry together and grieve together really show how they are alike, and they can share their emotions with each other without being judged by one another. Also, the parts where you see the annoyed side of her show how much you can despise someone in less than a day. Overall I love this book and I think that if you want a story about exciting new adventures and heart wrenching pasts, then The Blossoming Universe of Violet Diamond is the book for you.
