A review by stenaros
Pie in the Sky by Remy Lai
5.0
Read for Librarian Book Group
It's an immigrant story, in this case, the destination for the immigrants is Australia. I loved how well this book told the story of not understanding things because of not knowing the language.
There was great brother tension, because the older brother's language skills were not progressing as quickly as the younger brother's. This book also integrated the text with the illustrative panels, it was a book/graphic novel hybrid (though heavier on the book).
There were many amusing details, and sad feelings, and overall, this was probably one of my favorite middle grade books this year.
