When Clouds Touch Us by Thanhhà Lại
3.0
The sequel to Inside Out and Back Again.
☁️
Ha is starting to get used to her life in Alabama when her mom announces the family will move to Texas for a new job. This means Ha has to start over again: new classmates, new town, new people, but what starts out as a fearful time ends up being a new opportunity to finds friends and a place to call home.
☁️
This MG follow up to one of the most popular titles and Newbery Honor book fell a little flat to me. I loved the #ownvoices aspect again and novel in verse is one of my favorites to read, but I didn’t feel like we learned anything especially new about Ha or that the sequel built on the first novel. This is still a great addition to any library or classroom and it releases May 9. Thank you @librofm for the ALC.
CW: bullying, racism
