She misses the Wong Market, where she used to buy ricepaper candy; Lou's books, where she used to read manga; the New Luck Restaurant and Little Mann Theater.
But on her first day of fifth grade at her new school, Yen Shei meets teacher Kris D'Laine and starts to think about community and family in new and different ways. Ms. D'Laine helps Yen Shei understand that even though we all seem very different, we're actually much the same.
