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.

The Summit County Attorney’s Office on Wednesday announced it is launching a “conviction integrity unit,” a new tool that County Attorney Margaret Olson says can provide a pathway to justice for those who have been wrongfully convicted of a crime.
There are several layers of review before a conviction can be overturned and a sentence commuted, but the program allows those who have been convicted of a crime a chance to challenge it if new evidence comes to light.
Olson indicated the unit would contribute to a foundational part of society: trust in the legal system.
