Description

Dawn Raid is the story of one ordinary girl living in extraordinary times. Sofia's life is turned upside down when her family becomes involved in a movement that encourages immigrant and Indigenous families to stand up for their rights. Inspired by the Black Panthers, this group has formed called the Polynesian Panthers, who are fighting against injustices faced by Pacific Islanders by the government. As Sofia navigates her new reality, she must also contend with everyday challenges like earning money for boots and finding friends at school. But as she learns to stand up and fight alongside her family, she discovers a sense of purpose and belonging that she never knew was possible. Told through Sofia's diary entries, Dawn Raid is a powerful and moving story about one girl's journey towards self-discovery and activism.
