"The Language Inside" is a beautiful and thought-provoking YA novel in verse that would appeal to those interested in exploring identity, multiculturalism, and finding one's place in the world. The book sensitively and elegantly weaves together political tragedy, natural disaster, PTSD, connections among families, and a cautious, quiet romance into an artistic picture of devastation, fragility, bonds, and choices. The vivid imagery in the lyrical free verse lends immediacy to the protagonist's turbulent feelings and inspires readers with the message that having the strength to fall down a hundred times and get up a hundred and one times is essential.
