Three Keys by Kelly Yang
4.0

Kelly Yang again pulls from her personal experience to craft this thought-provoking and touching middle grade novel. As a follow-up to Front Desk, we return to Mia and her friends starting the new school year. Mia isn't thrilled with her teacher and there are increasing tensions in their community regarding the status of immigrants which directly affects the conversations between students at the school.

Mia uses her passion for writing and the growing skills her teacher instills through private lessons, she helps her friends and growing family through a truly harrowing experience. I feel that Yang's writing of Mia and her personal thoughts can reach readers sharing her experiences to feel seen and will help those unfamiliar with such struggles recognize the challenges their peers may be facing on a daily basis.
