(4) 4-6 Eleven-year-old Fiona Cheng, half Chinese American and half Scottish American, struggles with her grandparents' expectations of her and with her own confused feelings about her identity. In attempting to address all the issues that confront mixed-race kids, the novel ends up with some artificial-feeling characters and situations, but Namioka's protagonist and story are still engaging.
