Inside Out and Back Again

Inside Out and Back Again

Thanhha Lai

This honor book is better than the medal winner. (The same thing happened last year - I thought Turtle in Paradise was better than Moon Over Manifest).

VERY good, but not "the best children's book of the year" as the Newbery Medal would imply.

Breaking Stalin's Nose

Breaking Stalin's Nose

Eugene Yelchin

See product details

A very serious, somewhat sad commentary on a child in a communist country. It's the story of a devout child communist whose father is arrested by Stalin's secret police and who must come to terms with the lies he has believed.

City Of Lies

City Of Lies

The 2nd in the trilogy that started with "The Museum Of Thieves" does not disappoint. The action is just as strong, Goldie is becoming a more accomplished thief as she searches through a city in the midst of a festival of lies for missing children. The adventure is much more complex if slightly derivative.

Lucky for Good

Lucky for Good

Susan Patron

See product details

This delightful finale to the Hard Pan trilogy has Lucky tracing her family history while continuing to build her current family. Add in the first hints of puppy love, a fight to save her mother's cafe, and religious debate to get a wonderful finish to the trilogy. I will miss Lucky and the characters from Hard Pan.

Inside Out and Back Again | Thanhha Lai

Just a lovely story

3 months ago

This honor book is better than the medal winner. (The same thing happened last year - I thought Turtle in Paradise was better than Moon Over Manifest). This is the story of a little Vietnamese girl who flees the war to America in the 70s and her adjustment to living in Alabama. It is told through poetry, although the poems read more like journal entries. Just a really sweet story - definitely worth a quick read. read review

My first novel for adults (my twentieth book, wow!) is now available for pre-order. It's set in the same world as the short story "The Storyteller" in the collection of the same name. I think the cover speaks for itself. Gods, demons, possession, heroes ...
