Scottsdale Public Library's Reviews > Finally Seen

Lina is a ten-year-old from China who is finally moving to the US to be with her parents and little sister after living apart from them for years. Once there, she faces many challenges, including reconnecting with her family after the time apart, not speaking English well, immigration trouble, mean kids at school and a classmate’s parent working to stop a class reading of a book that Lina connects with and feels seen by at a time where she often feels invisible. This is a powerful middle-grade book about finding the power within yourself to speak up and having the courage to make yourself seen and heard. While for middle-grade readers, readers of all ages will find this an inspirational read. -Madeline C.
