Written by Katarina Jovanovic, Tradewind’s title Cardboard City receives an enthusiastic review from Omni Libros.

Cardboard City follows the lives of two young teens — members of a Romani family. Siblings Saida and Nikola experience harsh discrimination at school and crushing poverty in their informal settlement, spread out under a bridge in Belgrade. Throughout this compelling tale, the teens navigate barriers to achieving their dreams of escaping their current circumstances.

As the reviewer describes, “This short book offers a fascinating view into the world of Romani people, a world likely unknown to YA readers. A historical note and four recipes round out this important book”
