Front Desk (Scholastic Gold)

Interesting story line across this whole series - with very identifiable feelings from the protagonist Mia as she grapples with being an immigrant in USA. Interesting series for middle school kids, especially those grappling with ethnicity.

"It is a very nice book. Must read for children " - as said by my daughter

大変なことがたくさん起こり、途中読み進めるのがつらくもなったが、読後感は清々しい。 とても読みやすい英語なのもよかった。

This was a fascinating and captivating story from start to finish. Although the book is rated for readers age 9-12, I bought this for my 8 year old granddaughter. After skimming the first chapter and a half, I wasn't certain this is a book written for children. Anyway, our library had an audio version available, so I borrowed it and started listening... and ended up spending the next 7 hours listening to the entire book. In my opinion, the writer, Kelly Yang, has that special knack for story telling that's akin to Nicholas Sparks. I mention this because many published authors abound who don't have as great a story telling ability that matches their expert writing ability; and there IS this difference. I can whole-heartedly recommend this book to readers of all ages. My granddaughter is getting the book for Christmas.
