Virtual author talk
Silicon Valley Reads is hosting two virtual author talks on Jan. 22 with Kelly Yang, who wrote “Front Desk,” this year’s selection for middle grade readers.
Based on the author’s real-life experience, Yang’s award-winning novel illustrates this year’s Silicon Valley Reads theme “Bridges to Belonging.” “Front Desk” follows 10-year-old Mia Tang, a recent Chinese immigrant whose family manages a rundown motel in California. While facing poverty, racism and the unfairness of the American Dream, Mia takes on the role of front desk manager, but her real job is building a community.
To register for Yang’s 9 a.m. virtual talk, visit https://bit.ly/4qGy2sS. Registration for the 4 p.m. event is at https://bit.ly/44ZpwwR.
