  2. I loved Starry River of the Sky and one day, I'd like to reread it and the other two Grace Lin books that go with it. And I should take a page out of your book and read Out of My Mind, still sitting on the shelf. I can't wait to see what you think of it.

  6. Ooh, I love the idea of an Author spotlight - I have yet to read Grace Lin's novels, although I make use of her Ted Talk in my PD workshops and in my teaching. I just borrowed The Bad Seed from our library and really looking forward to reading it.

  10. Your post reminds me that I haven't yet Starry River of the Sky or When the Sea Turned to Silver, despite really enjoying Where the Mountain Meets the Moon. I have enjoyed Grace Lin's Year of the Dog series, though and all Ling and Ting books. Great choice for an author spotlight!
