New from Here
by Kelly Yang
A middle-grade novel following Jason and his family as they relocate from Hong Kong to California in early 2020, just as the COVID-19 pandemic begins. The story explores the challenges of being Asian American during a time of rising anti-Asian sentiment, while Jason navigates a new school, cultural identity, and family dynamics. The book sensitively addresses themes of racism, belonging, resilience, and finding one's place in a new community during uncertain times.
