(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Regan Johnson. After their parents' deaths, eleven-year-old Alex and her sister move from Oklahoma to San Francisco. Alex wants nothing more than to go home. She feels alienated from Auntie Ling's Taiwanese culture and no longer finds solace in artistic expression. A lengthy Chinese fable that gives Alex strength may not compel readers, but they will sympathize with her grief.
