Joanna Ho Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

I learned so much history I did not know...It is a page turner with elements of love, an angel of death who is the most loving compassionate being in the book (IMHO), a magical river, a golem, an uprising led by students against a powerful world force Dinner plates vs tanks.

THE BRIDGE HOME is a middle grade novel that will make you laugh and weep and hurt and heal…It is an upfront glimpse into the realities of millions of homeless children around the world. It is a story of resilience and courage. You won't be able to put it down!⁠

If you haven't read THE COLLIDING WORLDS OF MINA LEE by @elloecho what have you been doing?? It's a web comic + kdrama + superheros battling an evil corporation all rolled into one fabulous story. ⁠

Love this book so much! Love the adventurous, outdoor girl who isn't afraid to try new things, pick up some bumps and bruises and then get back to it. I love that this book can shift suffocating stereotypes and encourage young readers to get out and adventure.⁠

As with everything Maggie writes, it is incisive commentary on the systems of the world today, on power and profit and and life and so much more, but told with magic and mermaids and page turns you won't be able to put down.

It gives me all the feels.⁠..The illustrations of so many women in tender, fierce, and loving scenes will make you cry.

Honest question: why isn’t there an award for PB text? I read so many stunning PBs and often have to stop in wonder at the magic in the words. HOW TO READ A BOOK by @kwamealexander and ALL BECAUSE YOU MATTER BY @TamiWritesStuff come to mind. What PBs come to mind for you?

...filled with Thai pirates, starvation, hallucination, and a panda friendship that ends in tragedy.⁠..This book peels back the intellectualizing of colonialism down to the horrific, heartrending and lasting impacts of its violence on individuals and families.

I think every parent will see themselves and their beloved ones in this story. It will make you laugh and cry and hang on to those little rascals a little tighter, treasure the moments a little more. It's SUCH an amazing book.
