Resumen del Editor

Winner of the Asian/Pacific American Award for Children's Literature!

Mia Tang has a lot of secrets.

Number one: She lives in a motel, not a big house. Every day, while her immigrant parents clean the rooms, 10-year-old Mia manages the front desk of the Calivista Motel and tends to its guests.

Number two: Her parents hide immigrants. And if the mean motel owner, Mr. Yao, finds out they've been letting them stay in the empty rooms for free, the Tangs will be doomed.

Number three: She wants to be a writer. But how can she when her mom thinks she should stick to math because English is not her first language?

It will take all of Mia's courage, kindness, and hard work to get through this year. Will she be able to hold on to her job, help the immigrants and guests, escape Mr. Yao, and go for her dreams?

Great story

Might be a bit graphic for younger kids but a very good book. This book definitely kept us interested.

Great kids book

The narrator did a fabulous job. Great voice to truly feel like a kid but very clear, easy to follow, and fun to listen to. Love the fact that this story was based in part on actual events of the author. Something all young kids should read to help understand the struggles of immigrants and minorities. As well as the struggle between parents and children, and the differences in American children and Chinese children.

Conversation starter!

My 2nd grader and I enjoyed this book immensely. It brings up many different issues such as poverty, racism, and worker exploitation in a way that provided the starting point of difficult conversations. My daughter asked for it play every time we got into the car.
warning: it does expose the tooth fairy!

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!

This book is absolutely amazing it taught me a great lesson and I always thought I had it the worst living in a two bedroom apartment with my mom and brother but this taught me that people have it worse than me and I should appreciate what I have and not to discriminate or treat people differently by what they look like or the color of there skin.

An important, timely book.

I listened to Front Desk with my 7 & 9 year old daughters we all loved it. It is funny and suspenseful and tackles big topics like racism, social justice, immigration, and bullying.

Yes, listen to it!

This book was recommended to me by three of my piano students, who just happen to be around the same age of the heroine of this book. Each of them, independently, read it because it is on the list of books for Oregon Battle of the Books. I am so glad it is! One of my students shared that the song Fur Elise is in the book and that the main character can play it! But this is much more than story about a young girl who can play the piano. It is a story about a young girl who has the courage to dream up a better way for us all to live together and the courage to do it! I can't wait to hear what my students think about it!
