Lunar Boy cover

Lunar Boy by Jes and Cin Wibowo

Indu doesn’t fit in on Earth. After spending his life on the moon, all he wants to do is get back there and away from the stepfamily and classmates who don’t understand him.

Could there be a place for him on Earth after all?

Continental Drifter cover

Continental Drifter by Kathy MacLeod

Here’s a memoir about feeling homesick no matter where you are. Kathy fits in better in Thailand, where she spends the school year.

Pulled between two worlds, Kathy will have to redefine “home” in a way that makes sense for her.

Wherever this Thursday finds you, I hope you have some comforting reading material to see you through the rest of the week!
