A middle-grade graphic novel about a Taiwanese American girl navigating identity, bullying, and the messy process of learning to be comfortable in her skin. nBetween homework, studying, and Chinese school, Měi Yīngs summer is shaping up to be a boring one. Her only bright spots are practice with her soccer team, the Divas, and the time spent with her năi nai, who is visiting from Taiwan. Although Měi Yīngs Mandarin isnt the best and Năi Nai doesnt speak English, they find other ways to connect, like cooking guōtiē together and doing tai chi in the mornings. n nBy the end of the summer, Měi Yīng is sad to see Năi Nai go--shes the complete opposite of Měi Yīng serious professor mother--but excited to start fifth grade. Until new kid Sid starts making her the butt of racist jokes. Her best friend, Kirra, says to ignore him, but does everyone elses silence about the harassment mean theyre also ignoring Sid . . . or her? As Sids bullying fuels Měi Yīngs feelings of invisibility, she must learn to reclaim her identity and her voice. n nPerfect for fans of American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang, The Legend of Auntie Po by Shing Yin Khor, Measuring Up by Lily LaMotte, and The New Kid by Jerry Craft.n
