Why read it?

1 author picked New from Here as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The middle-grade novel, New from Here, really hits home for me. The main character, Knox, a resilient young boy protecting his friends during the COVID-19 pandemic, makes this book incredibly relatable to young readers.

The book combats racism and promotes togetherness, issues that I am passionate about in my own writing.  

From Ying's list on Asian stories and voices.
