2026 Newbery Honor Book, The Nine Moons of Han Yu and Luli, by Karina Yan Glaser, tells parallel stories of a boy in 731 China traveling the trade routes and a girl in 1931 Chinatown of New York City where her family may lose their restaurant. They're tied together by a piece of silk.

Happy Reading!
