Yay @V_V_G! BROTHERLESS NIGHT is indeed gripping—also deeply moving, and one of the best books on siblings, family, and war that I’ve read in ages. https://twitter.com/pkhorn/status/1511683889437319180

Beyond grateful to @PublishersWkly for this 🌟 review of OUR MISSING HEARTS: "An affecting family drama ... especially when offering testimony to the power of art and storytelling. Ng’s latest crackles and sizzles all the way to the end." https://t.co/bDweXP84hE

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

I recently read this book and loved it— it's the story of a friendship that waxes and wanes and evolves over the years, which seldom gets depicted in fiction. Plus, it's a love letter to video games, the stories they tell and the way we use art to try to make meaning in our lives.

Hello, the 10yo just discovered and absolutely adored Neil Gaiman’s FORTUNATELY, THE MILK—what absolutely absurd middle-grade book should he read next? (He already loves the 13-Storey Treehouse series and Ronald Dahl.)
