This book is incredible! 

I loved how Lina was able to see herself in books and learn to express herself through her art. The friends she made totally warmed my heart and I loved the school board meeting when people got up to defend the sweet book that her classmate’s mom found divisive. 

I also loved how the author used her own experience coming to the US as the story for a side character (who was one of my favorite characters). So many important lessons in this book ❤️

A+ Realistic middle grade fiction with a timely message about the importance of diverse books, the misguided intents of book banning (based on a true event), and the power of graphic novels. Lina is a middle schooler trying to find her feet in a new life as an immigrant, daughter, big sister, long-distance granddaughter, friend, English learner, artist, bath bomb designer, graphic novel enthusiast, and voice against selfishly ill-informed xenophobic censorship. It's … a lot. But she handles it with courage, some excellent help, and humor in a story that's relatable, revelatory, and entertaining.
