What a cute story of adoption and acceptance! This will definitely be a book I recommend to all my students!Four words: I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!! this book made my heart do little jumps of joy when I read it. At some parts I felt like I would never be able to put the book down!:)
This is a beautifully written, emotionally stirring middle grade novel that readers of all ages can enjoy. Wen is adopted from a Chinese orphanage by an American family, and she's determined to keep her promise to Shu Ling, her best friend from the orphanage, and find Shu Ling a family too.

WIIA: A Chinese orphan who becomes adopted, has to get used to American life and her new family, but mostly about her trying to find a home for her friend in China also a orphan. Pros: Sweet book, inspiring. The author was mediocre, but I enjoyed reading. Cons: I would gauge the reading level to more geared for 9-12, so some parts we somewhat boring.

I first came across this in my (sort of) old school library, and it was one of the books to read in a book competition that I entered, and this one looked interesting, so I decided to try it.

I really like Wen, and her experiences with being in a new family especially, and her being determined to get Shu Ling a family before
