A Single Shard by Linda Sue Park

4.0

This is a great book with a lot of great lessons on working hard to make life better. It also shows an ancient culture in a very real and relatable way. The main conflicts are very much character-based rather than plot-based, which is refreshing but also makes it feel like the character was just trying to do what was best rather than making a tough choice. I'd give it a perfect rating if it seemed like some of the decisions were a bit deeper and tougher.
