Linnea is reading
Darius the Great Is Not Okay
by Adib Khorram
Linnea says, "Everyone faces struggles in life, but it’s less common to connect with the emotional toll struggles take. Unique to other books, the reader connects and understands Darius’ emotional pain, and is reminded life gets better. In addition, a culture is shared in the book!!"
Thanks for reading!
