The Many Assassinations of Samir, the Seller of Dreams

This type of historical fiction isn't something I'm usually drawn to, but the combo of Newbery honor + having LOOOVED Nayeri's previous book [b:Everything Sad Is Untrue 45916267 Everything Sad Is Untrue Daniel Nayeri https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1579708868l/45916267.SY75.jpg 70768669] made me pick this up. And honestly it was a lil slow going for me to get into it but damn he got me in the end.I think this would be soo good for a classroom readaloud, like a chapter a day. Kids would be clamoringggggg

An unexpectedly amazing tale but the illustrations are not nearly good enough for this story.
