5.0 out of 5 stars A Slice of Life You Don't Want To Miss!, May 30, 2007
By Carolyn Woolston (Felton, California USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a unique, eye-opening, down-to-earth novel that surprised the heck out of me. Written from a "young adult" point of view, Parra's debut work kept me riveted! I will never look at another piece of graffiti the same way again.

Angel's struggle for acceptance as an artist and as a person touched me deeply, made me laugh, and offers an insight into the small-town multi-cultural American high school scene. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

5.0 out of 5 stars gutsy, cool, real, May 6, 2007
By anne (the bleak midwest) - See all my reviews
This book blew me away. Kelly Parra writes with the keen eye of an artist. GRAFFITI GIRL is warm, gutsy, and true-to-life -- an unflinching, honest portrayal of young adults.
A seamless and impressive debut.

(REAL NAME)   
The Sista Hood: On the MicAngel reminded me of myself as a young girl writing in California. Kelly felicidades on your first novel, it's great to see Latinas writing postive novels about subjects that young people can relate to. I felt you weaved Angel's personal journey as a writer and growing young women with humor, realness and craft.
