Book fair time! I grabbed a few to read in order to recommend to students.
This is a well-told story of family, loss and friendship. The story begins in one of the poorest orphanages in china where we meet Wen and her forever friend, Shu Ling. When Wen is adopted in America, she must honor her promise to find her friend a family too. But it's not that easy. Wen struggles with settling into her own family and accepting a new mother, a new sister and new friends. This is a story of perseverance and love.
