Kelly Yang’s Finally Seen series is written for middle grade readers and focuses on Asian-American kids dealing with questions of identity and belonging. Finally Seen (2023) introduces the story, and Finally Heard (2024) continues the characters’ journeys. The books are set in contemporary America and deal with everyday challenges like fitting in at school and finding confidence.

Yang brings the same warmth and specificity to this series that she does to her Front Desk books. The stories are rooted in real emotions and situations that young readers, especially those from immigrant families, will recognize. The series is designed to be read in order, with each book building on the relationships and events of the previous one.
