Between homework, studying, and Chinese school, Mei Yings summer is shaping up to be a boring one. Her only bright spots are practice with her soccer team, the Divas, and the time spent with her nai nai, who is visiting from Taiwan. Although Mei Yings Mandarin isnt the best and Nai Nai doesnt speak English, they find other ways to connect, like cooking guotie together and doing tai chi in the mornings. By the end of the summer, Mei Ying is sad to see Nai Nai goshes the complete opposite of Mei Ying serious professor motherbut excited to start fifth grade. Until new kid Sid starts making her the butt of racist jokes. Her best friend, Kirra, says to ignore him, but does everyone elses silence about the harassment mean theyre also ignoring Sid . . . or her? As Sids bullying fuels Mei Ying's feelings of invisibility, she must learn to reclaim her identity and her voice. Perfect for fans of American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang, The Legend of Auntie Po by Shing Yin Khor, Measuring Up by Lily LaMotte, and The New Kid by Jerry Craft.
