My Aunt Is a Monster by Reimena Yee
adventurous
lighthearted
fast-paced
4.0
Really delightful.
I love the world-building here. It's not too high-fantasy for earbuds and cars. Fully-saturated adventure, with lots of incidental gayness and representation. Safia's blindness is important to the plot, but it's not the center of this story.
Yee's style is distinctive but fully accessible. The story is dense but also feels lighthearted and fun.
Planning to take this to local elementary schools in June 2024.
