Written by Nicola Yoon
A book for readers in grades 7 and up reviewed by Adanya
The Sun Is Also a Star tells the story of Natasha, a Jamaican American who is hours away from her family being deported, and Daniel, a Korean American struggling to meet his family’s expectations. While Daniel believes in fate, Natasha believes in science. When they meet, Daniel is confident that fate brought him and Natasha together. In order to prove this to Natasha, Daniel proposes that he can make her fall in love with him scientifically.
I recommend this book
because it teaches us what life is like for a modern-day immigrant. Both
Natasha and Daniel struggle to stay true to their cultural roots while also
maintaining an American identity. They both want to build their American
identities on their own terms with their own dreams and aspirations.
