Locus: In the latest title from the Rick Riordan Presents imprint, Korean-American author Yoon Ha Lee transports traditional Korean animal folklore to space in an interplanetary adventure with all the thrills, spills, and surprises that younger teens could want. It’s an obvious page-turner, and Yoon Ha Lee has nailed what the younger action crowd craves. There are some very funny moments in Dragon Pearl and plenty of angsty ones as well. There is no romance at all which fits well with […]
Review: Squad by Mariah MacCarthy
NPR: Squad is a short, highly concentrated blast of a book that revels in all the best and worst feelings of high school and offers the reader a charismatic and imperfect character to fall in love with. Jenna certainly won me over, and so did Squad.

Review: Dragon Pearl by Yoon Ha Lee
New York Times: “Dragon Pearl” is a clever mash-up of Korean mythology and science fiction tropes. With crisp dialogue, a winning protagonist and a propulsive plot, the tale is enormously entertaining. And a heads-up to speculative-averse adults: If you decided Harry Potter was O.K., this is another one that might surprise you.
