I really liked this book. I guess I had never really thought about how truly terrifying it must be to be an adopted older child and have to start over in a country where nothing is familiar. Wen was a great character and I wanted to hug her and tell her everything was going to be okay.

it was a nice way to show how much friends can be like sisters and it made me feel the same feelings the main character Wen did as well as her friends and family. I could relate to the book in some ways and it was a great story.

This was such a sweet story about adoption and the bounds of friendship. Recommended for grades 4 through 8.
