Reviews

A Chicago Public Library Best Book of 2024

"Yu's fictionalized biographical immigration story highlights perseverance and creative problem solving. The 'Note to Readers, ' author's note, and bonus story are fantastic additions . . . Highly recommended."--School Library Journal STARRED Review

"Yu's manga-style art is full of silly and dramatic flourishes that perfectly capture the overwhelming experience of culture shock. Mei uses creative thinking and her love of art to find her way, and readers will rejoice at the winsome hero's triumphs. Charming, funny, and full of heart."--Kirkus
