Front Desk by Kelly Yang
4.0

I read this with my 2 youngest for their monthly book club at the library. I really enjoyed it and appreciated learning at the end that it was based on the authors actually childhood. There is a lot to talk about here (immigration, racism, bullying, friendship, family). It should be noted though that the author does use the word 'bastard' once toward the end which did surprise me.

"I wonder which is better - to have had something for a second and then have it taken away, or to have never had it at all."
