A teen author was given a one-star review on Goodreaders after the reader discovered she was an immigrant.
Dominika Pindor, 14, was born in Poland and now lives in Illinois with her family. On TikTok, she has over 250,000 followers on her account @the.teen.writer, where she makes videos about books and writing.
In March, Pindor self-published her first book,
Wings and Shadows, using Amazon's KDP program. The book is a young-adult fantasy novel, and she documented the process of its creation online.
Wings and Shadows received positive reviews on popular site Goodreads, where readers can post their views on books they've read. However, one review criticized the writer for being an immigrant.
