A review by jroseballard
Playing the Cards You're Dealt by Varian Johnson

The audio version is fantastic! The narrator’s performance is engaging and fun. This is a sweet and thoughtful story with a great message. I think some young readers might struggle because many of them want only super high-action stories, and this is definitely more character-driven than plot-driven. But any kid who is dealing with the same family issues that Ant does will likely feel seen and validated by Johnson’s wonderful writing.
