A solid follow-up and worthwhile purchase for those who enjoyed the first book and readers who like stories set in one day like Blackout by Dhonielle Clayton and others or The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith.
Budding scientists looking for a chapter book series that has both developed and interesting characters, and great STEM components, will enjoy Sejal and her adventures.
Ameyaw adeptly creates visceral responses to the characters’ situations, while treating their issues of mental health, eating disorders, and traumas from assault and alcoholism with sensitivity. A needed addition to all collections that serve young adults.
This is an engaging read-aloud told in rhyme where young children can see themselves as they explore and enjoy playing with their friends. Any library wishing to focus on the importance of play will find this book useful.
A recommended addition to collections, and a great read for fans of Roshani Chokshi, Evelyn Skye, and Sandhya Menon’s Three Kisses, One Midnight or Jessica Spotswood’s The Last Summer of the Garrett Girls.
An affectionate portrayal of a grandmother and grandchild that also showcases a cultural garment in much the same way as Carmen Tafolla’s What Can You Do with a Rebozo?
