This review is posted at amazon.com.
An Na writes a wonderful story about a four year old Korean-born girl moves to the United States with her mother and father. Even though, the main character faces many challenges in her young life, including an alcoholic father and physical abuse, she is able to persevere and see many of her dreams and those of her mother come true.
An Na is very deserving of the Michael Printz award as well as the many others this book received.
The reader is able to see Young Ju grow up through the writing style. The beginning of the book is written as the memories of a young child and moves to the thoughts and life events of a young adult. It would open up many conversations about different cultures as well as difficulties that any student may face as a teen in the United States.
