About the 2022-23 Common Read Selection
"Almost American Girl," by Robin Ha, tells the coming-of-age story of 14-year-old Chuna, who moves with her mother from Seoul, Korea, to Huntsville, Alabama. “Almost American Girl” will lead the community into rich discussions of the Asian American experience, belonging, art as a means for connection, bullying, the search for identity, culture shock and immigration, and cultural expression.
