Karina Yan Glaser, you are an auto-read author for me! You weave together stories of multicultural community and resilience, while not dulling the importance or impact of hard topics.
This is a heartwarming story of some sixth graders who find themselves living in a homeless shelter in NYC. They bond over a love of classical music and in opposition to a new housing policy that threatens to wreck the lives they are building for themselves. I loved how just as in the Vanderbeekers these characters have stellar and not so stellar adults in their lives and how they must choose to fight for what they believe is right.
