A Soft Place to Land
from The Series Review Hosted by Riya B.
Hello listeners! Today I'm reviewing A Soft Place to Land by Janae Marks, the author of a great middle grade read From the Desk of Zoe Washington. If you listened to/watched my video episode, you'll know that I recently got A Soft Place to Land from the library. It's such an engaging book that I read it all in one day! Joy Taylor misses a lot of things. She misses her piano lessons. She misses the thick wall of her old bedroom. But mostly, she misses her old house. After Joy's father gets fired from his job, Joy and her family have to move to an apartment across town. Joy has to start at a new school, and she's worried she won't make any friends. With some friendly neighbors like Mae, Ziggy, and Nora, Joy starts to fit in and become friends with a group of 4: Nora, Elena, Oliver, and Miles. They even show her a secret room in the apartment that only kids know about! But between juggling her increasing worries about her parents getting divorced, her new job dog walking with Nora, and writing to the secret person in the Hideout, Joy fears everything might fall apart. INCLUDING her newfound friendships. How can Joy fix this? Email me at [email protected]. Enjoy! Send me a voice message at anchor.fm/riya-b13-message
