★ ""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’s writing is beautiful, seamlessly transitioning from one character to another, and situations involving violence and death are handled with care. VERDICT: A lovely fiction pick for readers who don’t often see themselves represented in fiction, those interested in learning more about Hmong spiritual beliefs, or seeking a fantasy genre not often explored for this age group.""—School Library Journal ""A beautifully crafted and layered look at identity, connection, culture, death, and belonging.""—Teen Librarian Toolbox ""No matter what character is speaking, the author’s prose shines.""—St. Paul Pioneer Press
