Description
For fans of Jasmine Warga and Thanh̉h LŁi, this is a stunning novel in verse about a young Taiwanese immigrant to America who is confronted by the stark difference between dreams and reality. Anna cant wait to move to the beautiful countrythe Chinese name for America. Although shes only ever known life in Taiwan, she cant help but brag about the move to her family and friends. But the beautiful country isnt anything like Anna pictured. Her family can only afford a cramped apartment, shes bullied at school, and she struggles to understand a new language. On top of that, the restaurant that her parents poured their savings into is barely staying afloat. The version of America that Anna is experiencing is nothing like she imagined. How will she be able to make the beautiful country her home? This lyrical and heartfelt story, inspired by the authors own experiences, is about resilience, courage, and the struggle to make a place for yourself in the world.
