As you know, I listen to a good number of books, even if some people don’t see it as reading; my hearing sense is way better than my sight. Like these books are there when I can’t physically move, and unless you experience something like this, you can’t really express it. Remember, sometimes a world of fiction helps in the real one. The con of reading so much is having to add them to my Excel sheet one by one, so instead of doing a post, I will be doing that today.

Goodreads Blurb:
A middle-grade survival story that traces a family secret back to the Holodomor, a terrible famine that devastated Soviet Ukraine in the 1930s.
Thirteen-year-old Matthew is miserable. His journalist dad is stuck overseas indefinitely, and his mom has moved in his one-hundred-year-old great-grandmother to ride out the pandemic, adding to his stress and isolation.
But when Matthew finds a tattered black-and-white photo in his great-grandmother’s belongings, he discovers a clue to a hidden chapter of her past, one that will lead to a life-shattering family secret. Set in alternating timelines that connect the present-day to the 1930s and the US to the USSR, Katherine Marsh’s latest novel sheds fresh light on the Holodomor – the horrific famine that killed millions of Ukrainians, and which the Soviet government covered up for decades.
