#SundayMorningBookChat which books have transported you to another country? Or unlocked a different culture or allowed younger readers to see beyond their own four walls?

Just finished Scientists in the Wild: Antarctica (if I’m allowed some non-fiction) but also enjoyed Maisie vs Antarctica. Going slightly further afield, A Rover’s Story is quirky and brilliant.
Isn’t it. And the best bit, the poorest readers who wouldn’t have accessed the book by themselves were the ones who got the plot twist before it became clear 😀
I’m a bit late to the Sunday morning aspect of the chat, but I’ll add #TheHungryGhost by @hsnorup.bsky.social which gave me a fascinating insight into Singapore and Chinese culture

Great choices there, Tom! Going to have to go with Safiyyah’s War by Hiba Noor Khan, which - as I’m sure you already know - is an exceptionally good read!
Great choices there. I would add The Kingdom Over The Sea by Zohra Nabi or any books by @lesleyparr.bsky.social Emma Carroll @lindsaygalvin.bsky.social or @philearle.bsky.social which are so well written to help readers develop empathy in a new perspective.
I’m going with The Shark Caller. Fabulous book. Definitely took me to a different place, as well as having that blow-your-mind plot realisation moment.
To be fair I haven’t read all six, so can’t speak for some of the others.
