This week’s book recommendation was chosen by Phyllis Hernandez, Senior Technical Aid at North-East Library.

Phyllis chose “The Sun Is Also A Star” by Nicola Yoon.

“Natasha, a young undocumented Jamaican immigrant is headed to seek legal advice on how to save her family from deportation at midnight,” Phyllis said. “On the busy streets of New York, she meets Daniel, a young Korean American on his way to a Yale Admissions interview. Struggling with the uncertainties of their future, both find that this chance meeting leads them on a day full of sharing their thoughts and experiences. This book takes you on a journey of hope, heartache, and destiny. It allows the reader to believe in fate, chance meetings, and to believe that deep conversation can connect two hearts.”

This selection is available as a hard copy book, eBook, downloadable audiobook or audiobook CD.
