Product Details

Praise

★ “Lyrical, evocative prose deftly captures Malcolm’s longing for a sense of belonging; Yang has crafted a layered, profoundly moving musing on grief, connection (and lack thereof), and identity.
A true gem.”—Kirkus, starred review

“[A] richly wrought tale about a boy coming into his own.”—Publishers Weekly

“This is a moving story about a boy longing to feel a connection to his family and his identity. Yang’swriting is beautiful, seamlessly transitioning from one character to another, and situations involvingviolence and death are handled with care. VERDICT: A lovely fiction pick for readers who don’t often seethemselves represented in fiction, those interested in learning more about Hmong spiritual beliefs, orseeking a fantasy genre not often explored for this age group.”—School Library Journal

“No matter what character is speaking, the author’s prose shines.”—St. Paul Pioneer Press
