REVIEWS
“Money Hungry was one of the first full books I finished after moving here from Korea at 10 years old, not knowing any English. I’m 35 now and it’s still imprinted on my mind. My mom and I moved here without anything, not knowing anyone–we didn’t even have much money (or room!) for books, but I distinctly remember picking out and buying your book–and when young me was struggling alone to understand this whole new world, your book showed me its soul. Thank you so much for your work over the years. You made us readers, Ms. Flake. ”

“Ms. Flake you are the first book I ever remember wanting to read. It wasn’t an assignment. My mom bought me The Skin I’m In at 12. I’m 35 now. You changed how I see myself. You changed how I interacted with others…your words are in my DNA.”

“If you can open your heart and mind, and close your eyes, this book is a live document. The characters are alive, and each emotion; the fear, sadness, pride are each alive as an individual character. I couldn’t put it down, and I look forward to reading everything Ms. Flake has created!”
