Dragon Pearl by Yoon Ha Lee
4.0
This is a great middle grade full of adventure. Honestly, the setting, the characters, and story felt unique and new. I loved how well the sci-fi aspects worked with the fantasy ones. There were many more supernatural beings than I anticipated there being.
I did, on occasion, find my mind wandering, or not connecting with Min, BUT I am so not the target audience. The amount of action here and the choices taken will probably be a hit for most tweens and younger readers. Also, this isn't to say I didn't like the book or find it all predictable. There were times I was completely thrown by events -- some I really wasn't expecting to read in a middle grade book. A great read and one I'll be recommending to young readers looking for a more sci-fi read with action.
