Review Recipient of Readers' Favorite 5 Star Review "Mighty Mila by Katie Petruzziello was an inspiring, fast-paced, and well-written story... Not only is the story full of important lessons, but it is also filled with helpful details about Mila's cochlear implants... Reading this wonderful tale, I was immediately attracted to the main character, Mila, who was a ball of sunshine throughout the story. I admired how strong-willed she was when she wanted to prove something to her family. The adorable and colorful illustrations by Nadja Sarell made the story even more joyous. The art is truly praiseworthy and adds more depth and tone to the tale. At the end of Mighty Mila, there are interactive activities for readers to enjoy. Having these activities at the end of the story made learning a lot more fun and worthwhile. Children will surely enjoy and also learn a lot from Mila's adventures!" - Reviewed By Trisha Dawn for Readers' Favorite About the Author Katie Petruzziello is a project manager who spends her days juggling her career and trying to keep up with her 3 wonderful (and very energetic!) children who were the inspiration for this book.
