Nevertheless, thanks for letting us know about this read.

TOO, too, <i>too many</i> immigrant stories with Asian characters go there... and since I used to teach students who struggled so hard just to grasp the language intricacies, I know it's a big old stereotype. This is not to say that for many cultures there's a serious scholarly work ethic going on for the young that we don't necessarily foster here, but it is to say that NOT everybody goes with it when they get to the U.S. - and I think we need to see more of that reality reflected in fiction for young adults.tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.com
