A review by reader4evr
Girl in Translation by Jean Kwok

5.0

I am surprised by how much I really enjoyed this book. I can tell you that I wasn't super excited when I saw this on my list of 10 to read but once I got into the book, I feel in love with Kimberly and her ma.

This is a great book of overcoming obstacles and family. I was totally happy with how the book ended as well (although you don't find out about what happened 12 years to her Aunt Paula who was TOTALLY taking advantage of them).

I don't think this would have an wide appeal to teenagers but if they were looking for the topics within this book, it would be a perfect choice.
