Book Review: Children of Chicago by Cynthia Pelayo
Children of Chicago is dark, gut-wrenching, emotional, and highly relatable at its core. It’s an example of old folklore and fairy tales being communicated through urban legend and interpreted through new technology to cause real harm. But Children of Chicago is much more than that. It’s a look at real violence in real communities and…
