Why read it?
1 author picked War at the Snow White Motel and Other Stories as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I’m cheating a little here, because War at the Snow White Motel is a collection of short stories, and only the first one is set in a motel. But all these stories will draw you into the complicated emotional lives of kids who struggle to make sense of a world populated by adults who don’t always make sense, and each one will surprise you with that lovely twist that makes a short story so satisfying. At the end of the book is an afterword with notes from the author about each story—a delicious dessert after a scrumptious meal.
From Tziporah's list on middle grade set in motels and hotels.
