First of Kelly Yang’s book that I came across. Downloaded it as the blurb says for those who enjoyed A Kind of Spark. Of course by the time I look at my list of audiobooks for my work journey I forgot all about allocating this for family journey.

I really enjoyed it, more than I actually thought I would. It is already an emotive story, full of relevant world issues. However the narration by Sunny Lu just brings the story even more alive too. I looked forward to my work journey because of it. The ending and Kelly Yang’s notes brought tears to my eyes.

Whilst writing this review, I found out that her book was banned in 2021 because it talked about racism, biased-ness and all sorts of prejudices that is happening. I think it can be quite jarring to people who are really unaware of these issues happening around them, however it is important for these to be seen and then only it can be tackled.

I definitely recommend and will put the rest of the series in my TBR!

This is a lovely elementary school level book that deals with some of the harsh realities of life as a poor immigrant to the USA in a very kid friendly, uplifting and empowering way. I take my hat off you, author, well done.

delightful kid's book

An extremely valuable and essential book for young people and adults alike. This is a book that supports the understanding of true diversity and is filled with love.

A beautiful and important story

I was gripped by the story. A writing talent that obviously began from a young age. As a 2nd generation immigrant myself I love how balsy the main character was. She didn't take no for an answer, tenacious lil thing. Spurs me on, I was reminded not to put myself in a corner. Great story made even better that it's slightly based on real life.

Determination is a virtue
