- School Library Journal Reviews : SLJ Reviews 2018 July
Copyright 2018 School Library Journal.Gr 4â7â Adapted from Sotomayor's memoir,My Beloved World , this edition brings the childhood and early adulthood of the Supreme Court justice to younger readers. Her reflections on her childhood are perceptive and poignant. She hides nothing from readers, confiding in them about her insecurities, sadnesses, and challenges in her journey from adolescence in New York City to college at Princeton University and beyond. Furthermore, she writes about her life in an immigrant family with humor and honesty. Sotomayor often references her logical mind-set, which propelled her success in school and law practice. This also comes through in her experience with juvenile diabetes, her observation of her parents' difficult marriage, the death of her father, her grief over losing her grandmother, and her experience as a Puerto Rican American straddling two cultures. Ultimately, this is a work that is infused with warmth and encouragement.VERDICT A good choice for any juvenile biography collection, especially those where autobiographies and memoirs are popular.âChelsea Woods, New Brunswick Free Public Library, NJ
