I’ve been a fan of Jen Wang’s work for several years now and got sent a finished copy of Ash’s Cabin a couple months ahead of release. I absolutely love Ash’s character development throughout the story and the illustrations are magnificent. This is the kind of book that I think would resonate heavily with many teens today. It shows how hard life can be when the people closest to you don’t seem to understand you, at all. The lessons that Ash learns along the way, both on survival and human connection, were told in such an engaging way that I couldn’t put this one down. I’d recommend this to teen readers, especially 9th and 10th grade.
