A review by shirleytupperfreeman
New from Here by Kelly Yang

The Wei-Evans family is living in Hong Kong in February 2020 when a new virus, Covid-19, hits mainland China and soon will be in Hong Kong. The family spontaneously decides to move back to California where the parents feel the kids will be safe. Told from 10 year old Knox's point of view, the story deals with prejudice and racism, missing a parent who stayed behind to work, making friends, ADHD, and how to keep a family together in trying times. To be published in March, this middle reader is about as relevant as it gets.
