A delightful read that should ring home for people who have gone through the immigrant experience, of having to learn a language from scratch and navigate alien social situations. At various places, and spoken through middle grade innocence and (let's get real) petulance, <i> Pie in the Sky </i> packs a surprising emotional punch.
