I couldn't help but think that this might be a bit boring for kids to read but her story is illustrated and written well. 

Kathy wants to belong somewhere, but with a Thai mother and American father nowhere really feels right. In Thailand she’s too American, in America she’s too “Chinese”. She thinks she’ll find the perfect place at an American summer camp – she's seen enough movies to know they’re magical places! But somehow she’s still not the same as other girls. This graphic novel follows Kathy as she navigates identity and belonging and familial tensions.
