Such an inventive spin on the magical school narrative. The fantastical world building is superb, yet is not used as an escape from real-world problems. Amari is an awesome hero with a heart of gold and a will of iron. I truly cannot wait for the next book in the series. There's so much potential!

My eyes also kiss in the corners and I wish there had been a book for my eyes when I was growing up. I love that the book exists today, thanks to Joanna Ho, and I hope that children (and adults) from all corners of the world get to read this now. Note: this makes a great gift, in time for Lunar New Year!

Published: Tor Teen - January 5th, 2021

This book is almost too good for words. Taking place in a sci-fi setting reminiscent of the wild west, this book is everything I could have asked for and more. It tracks five girls as they escape a Welcome House (their form of brothel) and become outlaws in order to gain their freedom. Davis' worldbuilding  is some of the best I've ever seen, neither over explaining, or leaving me wishing that I knew more, and the character dynamics were to die for. An absolute must read!

Lily Hu wants a lot of things that are out of reach in San Francisco's Chinatown in 1954: She wants to build rockets. She wants to avoid the communist witch hunts. And -- much to her surprise -- she wants Kathleen Miller, who is definitely not the nice Chinese boy everyone expects for her.
