Reviews

“Yee’s teens are not only credible; they will stick with readers just as Salinger’s Glass family has.” KLIATT

“These intriguing, loosely linked short stories explore the lives of Chinese-Canadian teenagers as they navigate two worlds, struggling to meet their immigrant parents’ expectations and to also live their own lives.” – School Library Journal

“These stories will definitely serve the Asian- American (or Canadian) students in our high schools, and other students may come away with a better understanding of Asian-American students after reading this. Highly Recommended.” – Library Media Connection
