My second middle-grade novel, SUMMER AT SQUEE, publishes tomorrow, March 5th, 2024! I’ll be doing a couple of launch events next week — an in-person event on March 10th at the Golden Library in Golden, Colorado, and a virtual event on March 13th. For more info about each event and links to register, scan the QR code in the above graphic or go to https://linktr.ee/AndreaYWang. You’ll find links to order the book there as well. If you order from Second Star to the Right Books, you can have the book inscribed and signed, and I’ll also include a bookmark and sticker!
The book is about Phoenny Fang, her Squad, and the place they all love — a Chinese cultural heritage camp called the Summertime Chinese Culture, Wellness, and Enrichment Experience, otherwise known as Squee. On her journey to making this the best summer ever, Phoenny encounters challenges that ultimately transform her sense of what it means to be Chinese American and grow her understanding of community. It’s a story about assumptions, preconceptions, and expanding the boundaries of how we see ourselves and other people.
I hope you’ll join me at one of the above events to help me celebrate! There will be giveaways of books as well as Asian and western candy and snacks (because they eat *a lot* of candy and snacks at camp Squee)!
