My middle-schooler has been talking about Front Desk for months (ever since she read it the first time). I'm so glad Ms. Yang is continuing the series -- there are so many important conversations that need to be had!
I can't wait for the next adventure with Mia, Lupe, and Jason!

This one ended up hitting really close to home in post-2024 election days. It makes it even more heartbreaking that we’re regressing further and further back when the “history” we’re repeating isn’t all that historic yet.
Very good life lessons in this series! Fun to read/listen to.
All children should read it.

So powerful. Truly an amazing book. I cannot imagine how powerful it would be to read this as a young person.
Even better than FRONT DESK. Kelly Yang is truly a gift to the world.

The bitter reality that this book presents is a very important reality check.
