Based on the author’s personal experience, this story of 5th grader Mia Tang captures her qualities of cheer, ingenuity, and resilience.

By turns humorous and horrifying, Mia’s optimism sees her through transitions and challenges and wins the hearts of motel weeklies—and of listeners. Published by Listening Library
