Amid the uncertainty of not having a permanent home, twelve-year-old Queenie finds unforeseen friendship--and unexpected confidence--in this warm, sensitive story addressing loss and belonging. To Queenie, home is Peachy, the little peach-walled house she's lived in forever, all art deco and flaky paint. Always a provider of solace. But when she and her mom have to move out, suddenly one temporary move follows another, from a retirement village to a flood-prone old camper van to a shared home, sometimes with just her father's guitar under her arm and some budding lyrics in her head. Along the way, the change-resistant Queenie discovers that home isn't a place at all--it's making new friends and reconnecting with old ones, letting yourself be uncomfortable, and finding the courage to share your song with the world. With insight, honesty, and gentle humor, Zanni Louise's timely novel touches on the experience of housing insecurity as it introduces a relatable protagonist who readers will

If you knew your future, would you try to fight fate?Aside from a delay, there will be no problems. The flight will be smooth, it will land safely. Everyone who gets on the plane will get off. But almost all of them will be forever changed.Because on this ordinary, short, domestic flight, something extraordinary happens. People learn how and when they are going to die. For some, their death is far in the future—age 103!—and they laugh. But for six passengers, their predicted deaths are not far away at all.How do they know this? There were ostensibly more interesting people on the flight (the bride and groom, the jittery, possibly famous woman, the giant Hemsworth-esque guy who looks like an off-duty superhero, the frazzled, gorgeous flight attendant) but none would become as famous as “The Death Lady.”Not a single passenger or crew member will later recall noticing her board the plane. She wasn’t exceptionally old or young, rude or polite. She wasn’t drunk or nervous or pregnant. Her a

面對陌生的臺灣，小女孩的心情既期待又不安。語言不同、環境新奇，連飛行都顯得遙遠。「本書」讓 Nainai 成為最佳嚮導，帶著孫女一步步走進山林與回憶。她們邊爬山邊聽故事，從老電影與鳳梨冰，到童年遊戲與街坊人情，臺灣在敘述中逐漸有了溫度。當山頂的人們熱情認出 Nainai，也認出她是「孫女」時，小女孩心中升起踏實的歸屬感。作者 Livia Blackburne 與插畫家 Joey Chou 皆生於臺灣，將真實經驗融入畫面與文字。這是一封寫給故鄉與家人的邀請函，也是一場理解自我的開始。A Taiwanese-American girl is nervous about visiting Taiwan-- until her paternal grandmother, her Nainai, takes her on a mountain-climbing adventure and shows her its wonders. Traveling from California to Taiwan for the first time, even with her parents and her Nainai around her, is a lot for a little girl to take in. The plane ride lasts forever, she can't read any of the signs, and she's worried there will be unfamiliar bugs. But then Nainai becomes her tour guide, and Taiwan transforms. As they huff and puff up Nainai's favorite mountain, stomachs full of bao and juicy sausage, Nainai spins yarns about riding to the movies in pedicabs, eating frozen pineapple, and playing pinball to win snacks. Even the bugs turn out to be more cool than scary.

However, the village encounters trouble when a young woman named Luna arrives in the village. She tells them that there is a better way to fight monsters—by becoming monsters themselves.This is only the beginning of a harrowing and thrilling adventure. The villagers leave everything b

"A family who lives in their van has everything they need in an important and seldom discussed topic done extremely well. A must-have."

When those feelings start to take over, Mama reminds her of the love inside Old Blue's walls. Inspired by her childhood experience with economic and housing insecurity, acclaimed creator Lita Judge tells the gentle and ultimately hopeful story of a family who hopes for a forever home--but until t
