Pjs, cuddling, and story-time before bed is a favorite at our house! The last couple weeks the kids had so much fun reading some new material I was given advanced copies of. It’s cute how now they ask what new books I have to read. As soon as I’m finished they will tell me what they loved about the book. My great little reviewers! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️📚📖 @netgalley #netgalley

Sanya’s New Starts by Aditi Singh is a charming story of 11-year-old Sanya navigating the changes in her life. She goes through bullying, a new brother, moving to a different community, and making new friends. The author does a great job of creating a supportive family for Sanya and parents that guide her through her struggles. Each plot point has a positive ending with Sanya sharing wisdom she has learned along the way.

This is a great book to add to any adolescents bookshelf. Not only will it mirror navigating common issues but also educate on common Indian foods and culture.
