YA
Recently orphaned, Leo (short for Leonora) flees her mother's extended family in London to search for her Chinese father's estranged parents in Glasgow and to escape her potentially dangerous uncle. Leo and her friends compose an endearing cast of characters, and the story's multiperspective approach creates plenty of dramatic tension.
