a sure-fire read

LITTLE FIRES EVERYWHERE by Celeste Ng

            A novel worth all of the hype, Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng offers an immersion in the emotional roller coaster that is teenage life, coupled with intricate mystery and an examination of how we determine identity. Primary characters and mothers, Elena Richardson and Mia Warren lead seemingly opposite lives that encourage readers to question what it means to be happy, and how we set out to achieve that happiness in our lives. Ng’s writing is capable of entertaining even the hardest to reach readers and is a sure recommendation for secondary teachers’ classroom libraries.
