Flying Lessons & Other Stories by Ellen Oh

3.0

I loved many of these stories, especially Flying Lessons; Choctaw Bigfoot, Midnight in the Mountains; and Sol Painting, Inc. But I was upset at how Monk in Kwame Alexander's Seventy-Six Dollars and Forty-Nine Cents uses his powers to blackmail a girl (who clearly indicates she doesn't like Monk or want to physically touch him) into kissing him after he already acknowledges he knows she doesn't like him. I've enjoyed everything else I'd read from Alexander, so am really disappointed.

Oh, and really want Grace Lin to write a whole series from her The Difficult Path story.
