You Are Here: Connecting Flights by Ellen Oh
4.0
This was a GREAT middle grade #ownvoices anthology that takes place in a Chicago International airport and features a cast of incredibly diverse Asian American characters.
I really enjoyed this on audio narrated by a full cast and was impressed by the unique experiences represented. From children of divorced parents, children of immigrants, to neurodiverse families, interfaith (Jewish) families and so much more! The book also doesn't shy away from addressing anti-Asian racism in its many forms and challenges so many stereotypes. A refreshing, must-read!
Highly recommended, especially for fans of authors like Kelly Yang or the book Grounded, another middle grade collaboration published this year featuring different Muslim American authors that also takes place in an airport.
CW: anti-Asian racism
