When the Sea Turned to Silver

What a wonderful new story by Grace Lin. It is a little darker than her book When the Mountain Meets the Moon, but just as much fun. It is full of smaller folk/fairy tales intermixed with the larger story. This is a great book for middle schoolers, and another winner from Grace!

p.s. Some characters from her previous novel(s), make a guest appearance!

omg somehow I missed that this is 3rd in a trilogy?! I think they can be read out of order since I still LOVED this book, but I know it had a little nod in it to Where the Mountain Meets the Moon so I'm wondering if it also connects to the 2nd one, Starry River of the Sky?

Anyway–totally beautiful, compelling, love it. I think these books would be great readalouds since they are so episodic. They're so smartly structured and so perfectly highlight the power of stories and cultural identity. But also, just super fun!
