Communication is key, people!
I don't have time to do a full review, but I really enjoyed this novel in verse about a young girl's search for acceptance, connection, and her own place within her Chinese-American family. Very relatable and realistic! I learned something new, too, which is always lovely. Would book talk this to all three of my grades (6-8) and think they would each find something different of value in it. Borrowed from the public library to test out for Nat'l poetry Month, will definitely be purchasing for our school library. Does not end on a firmly "happy" ending, but demonstrates how people struggling with things may slowly reach out for help or might take more than a conveniently encompassed school year to resolve what they are going through - and some things might be a lifelong journey. Still hopeful ending though!
