Such a sweet book about a girl named Unhei who moves from Korea and is trying to fit in. Her classmates and teacher‘s kindness help her see that her name and heritage are not something that will keep her from making friends in her new school.

This one has been on my list for a long time and I'm so glad I finally read it. If it's on your list, don't wait. Dual narrative and I could decide which MC I liked more. Such an important story of love, grief, and forgiveness.

Repost for @Jadams89

Happy almost-May, readers! Our selection for the month is Crank by Ellen Hopkins. Hopkins‘ books were banned more frequently than any other author‘s in recent years.

Also, watch for discussion questions for our April read, The Perks of Being a Wallflower coming soon.

I‘m not crying, you‘re crying.

I love how Jack comes to understand, write, and appreciate poetry. This is a super quick read, but have tissues handy.

(April Reading Challenge selection from Park Road Books)

DGRachel @TheBookHippie I love that (having help, not the normalcy of trauma/death, obviously). Clearly, I‘m not the intended audience and that particular topic is something I‘ve been sobbing about out of nowhere for two days. Grief is a funny thing. 3d
TheBookHippie @DGRachel Grief is a lifetime journey. ♥️ 3d

Jeremy reminds us all that it is often those who have little who are the most generous.
