Making the Invisible Visible: Review of My Life as a Chameleon by Diana Anyakwo
"In My Life as a Chameleon, Diana Anyakwo gifts pre-teen and teen readers with a young adult novel that skillfully and artistically explores some of the most pressing issues...
we are grappling with in the adult world today.
The author grew up in Lagos, Nigeria and is of mixed Irish and Nigerian heritage. Lily, the protagonist of the novel, also has a racially mixed background, but her fictional story is all her own. Anyakwo delivers Lily’s story in a narrative structure similar to a diary; the chapters shift back and forth through the 1980’s and the year 1990 with a disregard for strict chronological order. Additionally, the author creates a sense of intimacy with her readers by using first-person narration.”
