Spring Pearl: The Last Flower

(3) 4-6 Girls of Many Lands series. While the mid-1800s city of Canton endures a British invasion, orphaned Spring Pearl leaves her home to live with her father's friend. Raised to be independent, Spring Pearl is frowned upon by the daughters of her new family. But when trouble occurs, her wisdom and strength help save the family. Yep's prose flows smoothly, and despite some stock characters, the story is enjoyable.
