Review: Every Falling Star: The True Story of How I Survived and Escaped North Korea

Every Falling Star: The True Story of How I Survived and Escaped North Korea by Sungju Lee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Very depressing but well written. I have not read anything about North Korea before, but I have heard about how awful it is, of course. It was enlightening, but a tough read, especially when the world feels so depressing right now anyway. It’s definitely an important read though!

Review: Rez Ball

Rez Ball by Byron Graves
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I think this book deserves four stars, although to be honest, my personal enjoyment was probably closer to three stars. I think this is an interesting, important book and I think it is a very good one to recommend to my basketball-loving students. I personally don't care about basketball so I didn't love those parts, which is a large portion of the book. However, I loved the explorations of racism, grief, and friendship in this book. It is an excellent one for my students!
