Annette Alden's Reviews > Finally Seen

I always enjoy Kelly Yang's books, and this was no different for me. Ten-year-old Lina Gao steps off the plane from Beijing, and hasn't seen her parents or little sister in 5 years! She's glad to finally be in America, but adjusting to life is harder than she thought it would be-- and so is speaking English. She has trouble coming out of her shell until a group decides to ban some books that speak to her as an immigrant. She decides it's willing to fight for those books so others can see themselves in Children's books as well. (some of the books were graphic novels, too)
