Clementine and Rudy by Siobhan Curham

Clementine and Rudy

by Siobhan Curham

Their poetry and art will change the world.
Rudy is a street artist; Clementine is a poet. The day after Rudy sneaks out late one night and posts her first piece of artwork, Clem discovers it, awestruck. She takes a photo, writes a poem in response and posts them together on Instagram. Soon the two fifteen-year-olds meet and begin their unique friendship, one that nurtures creativity and results in a special creative collaboration. The girls may be from very different backgrounds, and experiencing difficulties at home, but each strives to be true to herself and follow her dreams.

Clementine and Rudy is a powerful contemporary, following two young girls - Clementine and Rudy as they each have their own personal struggles, which they manage to get through by using their common interest of art. Multiple representations are also touched upon in this read, including diversity, racism and disability. I really enjoyed reading this book and I'd definitely be open to checking out more of Siobhan Curham's works in the future.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review.
