Ava Lin by Vicky Fang

Sierra’s first review of the year

it was amazing
An absolutely adorable new series for our little ones in elementary! Kids will relate to Ava and adore her character. The illustrations by Fang throughout were so cute and well-done. Definitely adding to our library and can’t wait to read more about Ava Lin!

Thank you Vicky Fang and Candlewick Press for an ARC for #BookAllies.
