Fake Chinese Sounds

Between homework, studying, and Chinese school, M?i Y?ng's 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 n?i nai, who is visiting from Taiwan. Although M?i Y?ng's Mandarin isn't the best and N?i Nai doesn't speak English, they find other ways to connect, like cooking gu?ti? together and doing tai chi in the mornings. By the end of the summer, M?i Y?ng is sad to see N?i Nai go - she's the complete opposite of M?i Y?ng 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 else's silence about the harassment mean they're also ignoring Sid . . . or her? As Sid's bullying fuels M?i Y?ng's feelings of invisibility, she must learn to reclaim her identity and her voice.
