(4) YA Syrah, who loves snowboarding and graphic novels, feels alienated from her ultra-rich Chinese American family. Initially readers may balk--justifiably--at her poor-little-rich-girl laments. Eventually, however, with her new understanding of China's Cultural Revolution, the unexpected support of her much older half sister, and the decision to use her clout to help others, Syrah becomes a more sympathetic character.
