Stephanie Fitzgerald's Reviews > Finally Seen

Lina has traveled from China to be reunited with her family in America, after five long years. Things are not quite how she expected them to be, especially at school. With the help of new friends, and two amazing teachers,and a librarian who reveal the magic of reading to her, Lina begins to feel more at home in this new country. Then, a book that her teacher has been reading aloud to the class is challenged because of its content about diversity. Will Lina find the courage to speak up about how this book has helped her adjust to her new life?
Kelly Yang has hit another one out of the ballpark! This would be a wonderful book to have in middle-grade classrooms.
