KELLY YANG NEVER MISSES!!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️
another incredible book in the front desk series!! i appreciate how kelly yang discusses themes of colorism, racism, consent, and gentrification in an approachable way to younger audiences. she doesn't sugarcoat anything either and shows how these issues not only affect the child characters but also the adults in the story. yet, there is still a sense of hope while talking about these heavy topics, and seeing the characters pushing for change is so heartwarming. it gives me hope that the next generation reading this series will have as much empathy and compassion as kelly yang infuses in her characters.
