From the New York Times bestselling author of Front Desk comes a โinvolving, realisticโ (Booklist, starred review) middle grade novel about a young girl who leaves China to live with her parents and sister, after five years apart, and learns about family, friendship, and the power of being finally seen.
My sister got to grow up with my parents. Me? I grew up with postcards from my parents.
When ten-year-old Lina Gao steps off the plane in Los Angeles, itโs her first time in America and the first time seeing her parents and her little sister in five years! Sheโs been waiting for this moment every day while she lived with her grandmother in Beijing, getting teased by kids at school who called her โleft behind girl.โ Finally, her parents are ready for her to join their fabulous life in America! Except, itโs not exactly like in the postcards:
1. Schoolโs a lot harder than she thought. When she mispronounces some words in English on the first day, she decides she simply wonโt talk. Ever again.
2. Her chatty little sister has no problem with English. And seems to do everything better than Lina, including knowing exactly the way to her parentsโ hearts.
3. They live in an apartment, not a house like in Momโs letters, and they owe a lot of back rent from the pandemic. And Momโs plan to pay it back sounds more like a hobby than a moneymaker.
As she reckons with her hurt, Lina tries to keep a lid on her feelings, both at home and at school. When her teacher starts facing challenges for her latest book selection, a book that deeply resonates with Lina, it will take all of Linaโs courage and resilience to get over her fear and choose a future where sheโs finally seen.
