Jarring truths
First of Kelly Yang’s book that I came across. Downloaded it as the blurb says for those who enjoyed A Kind of Spark. Of course by the time I look at my list of audiobooks for my work journey I forgot all about allocating this for family journey.
I really enjoyed it, more than I actually thought I would. It is already an emotive story, full of relevant world issues. However the narration by Sunny Lu just brings the story even more alive too. I looked forward to my work journey because of it. The ending and Kelly Yang’s notes brought tears to my eyes.
Whilst writing this review, I found out that her book was banned in 2021 because it talked about racism, biased-ness and all sorts of prejudices that is happening. I think it can be quite jarring to people who are really unaware of these issues happening around them, however it is important for these to be seen and then only it can be tackled.
I definitely recommend and will put the rest of the series in my TBR!

Not my usual genre
Picked this as it was free and have been let down by quite a few bad audible purchases recently. A pretty good story and narrated well, worth a listen.

Well worth a listen
I enjoyed this story which showed the determination of a young girl to succeed in a country her parents had assumed would be a better place than home.
Makes you appreciate your own life.

Such a lovely story of hope
Enjoyed listening to this book very much. It's aimed at children but I loved it as a full adult :)
Narrator's performance is very good and keeps your interest.
I love that Mia was able to think creatively to improve her life and help others in times of hardship, or when she felt she had ailed or felt inadequate! Very heartwarming story
Recommend!
