Lynn's Review
Light and Air by Mindy Nichols Wendell is a kids’ book set in 1935 New York. It was published in 2024.
When Halle’s mother gets sick, both Halle and her mom get diagnosed with TB and end up in the hospital.
This book does a good job of sharing what it was like to live with TB, how it was treated, and what it was like to be quarantined.
I have seen this book listed as both a YA book and a children’s book. Since it was a historical book and I like historical fiction, I added it to my list of YA books that I wanted to read this year.
I think Light and Air by Mindy Nichols Wendell is well done book and would be a great book for kids 10 and up.
This was a four star YA book for me.
