Notes From Your Bookseller

Over ten years since Inside Out and Back Again first captivated readers, author Thanhhà Lai brings us back to Hà’s story, picking up two years later. Though set in the past, this poignant novel in verse – inspired by the author’s own childhood – is a timely tale depicting the nuanced experience of a young person seeking refuge in America.

 A Boston Globe–Horn Book Award finalist!

Inspired by the author’s own childhood, this stunning novel in verse, the sequel to the award-winning #1 bestseller Inside Out and Back Again, picks up two years after Hà and her family arrive in Alabama as refugees from the Việt Nam War.

Hà and her family have worked hard to make a life for themselves in the US, but it hasn’t come easy. Hà has only just started to feel settled when Mother decides that the family will move to Texas for a new job.

Hà knows how hard starting over is and doesn’t want to have to do it again. But sometimes even an unwanted change can bring opportunity, new friends, and a place to call home.

This lyrical and compelling sequel to the National Book Award Medalist and Newbery Honor winning, #1 New York Times bestselling novel Inside Out and Back Again follows Hà and her family through another year of upheaval, growth, and love.
