Room to Dream πŸ–‹ Kelly Yang


 '"And so I will carry on, doing the same thing I’ve been doing since the first day I arrived at the Calvista Motel: treating each customer like they’re family"' 

πŸ“Mia and her family are heading back to China for a three month long well deserved vacation. But Mia's mind is tormented by the plethora of changes happing in her life; Lupe is taking high school classes meaning Mia will have to deal with seventh grade alone; her friendship with Jason is on the verge of collapsing ; in China and back home in Anaheim, smaller businesses are being pushed out of the field and its a real question whether or not the Calvista (their motel) will survive. Can Mia overcome these road blocks and save her future as well as the motel?

πŸ“– I didn't realise that Front Desk was a tetralogy(series of four books) until Room to Dream and the fourth book in the series Key Player one day popped up in my book recommendations. I was truly ecstatic to hear this and bought the two new books tout de suite. I enjoyed the book mainly because it shows how Mia deals with her dilemmas. It proves beyond doubt that there is no issue that can’t be fixed.
