Room to Dream by Kelly Yang is a great fit for middle grade readers who enjoy stories about friendship, navigating the challenges of middle school, and exploring the complexities of immigration and cultural identity.

Another great story from Kelly Yang! Really inspiring and so sweet. I just love all the details that can be easily understood by children and give them another view on life thay may not know. My students love the Front Desk series and now I do too

Kelly Yang is an amazing writer and I feel so lucky that we have the Front Desk trilogy in the world. I rarely recommend a book to everyone - but this trilogy is one of those rare occasions. The stories are wonderful and the writing style is fresh and brings everyone to life. Now I’m sad the trilogy has concluded but excited to read what’s next.
