Happy New Year, Julie 1974 by Susan McAliley, Robert Hunt, Megan McDonald

Hmm, I got this for New Year's and this is about Chinese New Year's. I did learn a whole lot about Chinese New Year I found interesting and the title is misleading as I was looking for New Year's.

This book deals with some issues. Divorce and anger and a new culture. I think for a 7-9 year old, this could be a good book and for me it was ok. It is set in the '70s when divorce was not as normal. The time is Christmas break until the Chinese New Year at the end of January.

I gave it an extra star for the good information it gives about the culture of Chinese New Year's. I won't be reading more of this series.
