This week, author Gabrielle Wang (The Wishbird, CBCA notable book 2014) contributes to the growing resource of kids’ / Young Adult book recommendations on this site.
Gabrielle’s list is full of engaging reads with layers of meaning and authentic storytelling. I love the Hoban, Dahl, Hartnett, Tan, Crowley and Alexie suggestions and I’m going to track down the others. Hope you can, too:
