Inside Out and Back Again

Four starred reviews were given to this compelling narrative about one girl’s year of transition, dreams, pain, and healing, including one from Kirkus, who called it “enlightening, tragic, and unexpectedly hilarious.” Thanhha Lai discusses how and why she incorporated her personal experiences into Hà’s story in an author’s note. An interview with the author, a family exercise, poetry writing hints, and discussion questions are also included in this paperback edition.
