Welcome to Litsy!

This was a fun heist story!

The premise is basically Crazy Rich Asians meets Ocean‘s Eight, which I loved. The plot is essentially a mashup of the two. I thought the story was super entertaining and amusing. I wasn‘t shocked at any of the twists and turns at the end because it was slightly reminiscent of Ocean‘s Eight‘s heist.

I was having trouble thinking of a book for #SteamyLove but I did love the Steamy Kitchen food blog back in the day & I still have a couple of her cookbooks. 🍜♥️

Others have seen a small orange fox. And, on rare occasions, a small boy has been seen at the gravesite as well, his eyes the yellow gold of candlelight.

This is a great book to read in your classroom! It can serve as a window and/or a mirror!

A book featuring an Asian American girl's reflection on her eyes and her family. The illustrations depict characters from Chinese mythology (like the Monkey King). Very uplifting!

In Christina Soonttornvat‘s 2020 Newbery winning book “A Wish in the Dark” Pong, who was born in prison, escapes and sees the world is just as wrong and unfair as the life he experienced while in prison. He makes friends along the way and experiences food, people, and life like never before. Nok (prison warden‘s daughter) hunts down Pong through Chattana and she has experiences that make her question her prior reality.

This story would be great to use for a class of 4th or 5th graders. The storytelling in the book would be wonderful for those grade levels. This book follows a great journey with many twists and intense scenes that it would keep students interested, while also giving them an inside look on Thai culture.
