Booktalk: In this sequel to Inside Out and Back Again, Hà and her family have worked hard to make a life for themselves in the US, but it hasn’t come easy. Hà has only just started to feel settled when Mother decides that the family will move from Alabama to Texas for a new job.
Hà knows how hard starting over is and doesn’t want to have to do it again. But sometimes even an unwanted change can bring opportunity, new friends, and a place to call home. (The summer snippet below is from the middle of the book.)
Snippet:
Bubble Nursery
The shorter-finned female,
having released eggs
glides safely in her jar.
The swirly blue-green male,
having mouth-carried each egg
to his floating bubble nursery,
guards wiggling promises
without sleep.
