Girl of the Southern Sea is the second Michelle Kadarusman book I’ve read (the first being the incredible The Theory of Hummingbirds), and I will certainly be adding her to my list of must-read authors. Her writing draws on personal connections to stories, and explores complex realities in the world in a way that is sensitive and compelling for younger readers.
