The Not-So-Uniform Life of Holly-Mei

"I can't wait for readers to explore Hong Kong with Holly-Mei. I have no doubt they will love both as much as I did." Erin Entrada Kelly, 2018 Newbery Medalist and 2021 Newbery Honoree Packed with humor and heart, this debut middle grade series follows a girl finding her place in a brand-new world of private school and frenemies when her family moves to Hong Kong. Holly-Mei Jones couldnt be more excited about moving to Hong Kong for her mothers job. Her new school is right on the beach and her familys apartment is beyond beautiful. Everything is going to be perfect . . . right? Maybe not. It feels like everywhere she turns, there are new rules to follow and expectations to meet. On top of that, the most popular girl in her grade is quickly becoming a frenemy. And without the guidance of her loving Ah-ma, who stayed behind in Toronto, Holly-Mei just cant seem to get it right. It will take all of Holly-Meis determination and sparkle (and maybe even a tiny bit of stubbornness) to get through seventh grade and turn her life in Hong Kong into the ultimate adventure!
