WOW Reads: S2, E5 - The Colliding Worlds of Mina Lee by Ellen Oh

March 27, 2024

Join the Worlds of Words Center Teen Reading Ambassadors (TRAP) as we discuss The Colliding Worlds of Mina Lee by Ellen Oh.

Meeting Oh sparked our thinking around diversity in books for teens, book bans, ghost stories, and how far we are willing to go with research in service to story telling. There's plenty of Ellen Oh love in this group. 
In this episode, we also mention:
Sunshine: a currently unpublished webcomic by Quin
A-Ha's Take On Me video
We Need Diverse Books
Spirit Hunter by Ellen Oh

Special shout out to Tucson Festival of Books! Watch for a bonus episode about our experience with the book festival. We are grateful for their work.
