The Dragon's Promise by Elizabeth Lim
4.0
Elizabeth Lim did a wonderful job continuing Shiori’s story in The Dragon’s Promise.
I rated a 4/5 because it did not create that same feeling of excitement Six Crimson Cranes did. Despite this, I loved the story, characters, and overall pacing. I wish I could put into words how much I love the world Elizabeth Lim brilliantly created.

The Red Umbrella by Christina Diaz Gonzalez
5.0
I rated ‘The Red Umbrella’ 5 stars!
While this story is fictional, it is based on the true event’s inspired by the many children who left Cuba without their parents/guardians for America between 1960-1962.
Truly, this story was beautiful. Christina Diaz Gonzalez does a wonderful job pacing the story so it that feels natural. I felt that I was there watching Lucia grow up and each character felt special/unique in their own way. Lucia, especially, I think was written as if she were a real teenager who is struggling to be like her peers or be true to herself. If I am being honest, I did not have anything I disliked about this story,
Overall, I loved this book so much! l’d definitely recommend this book for everyone.
