Flying Lessons & Other Stories by Ellen OhMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Short story collections are not something often seen for the middle grade reader, and short stories that are written by diverse authors telling tales about under represented groups are NEVER seen. This book is the brainchild of the people at We Need Diverse Books, and it's masterful.
This book contains ten stories written by some of our best and brightest middle grade authors. Every reader should be able to find themselves in this book. As Christopher Myers wrote, "[Today's kids] see books less as mirrors and more as maps. They are indeed searching for their place in the world, but they are also deciding where they want to go." Flying Lessons & Other Stories is indeed a treasure map.
