Bookroo's summary

In the heart of Inner Mongolia, young Jin Wang's spirited adventures defy her family's humble life. From climbing trees to searching for wolves, her mischief knows no bounds. Join Jin as she discovers that despite different customs, the joy of childhood is universal. What wild escapades await in this illustrated memoir?

From the publisher

Share in the joyful, adventure-filled shenanigans of a child growing up in a small mud hut in Inner Mongolia in this charming, illustrated memoir for young middle grade readers. Growing up in Inner Mongolia, Jin Wang was rambunctious and boisterous and did not always listen to her Ma. Jin and her family were poor, but like kids everywhere, she still found a way to have fun and get into lots of mischief climbing trees, digging for mushrooms, and even looking for wolves. Paired with delightful, kid-friendly illustrations, this early middle grade memoir invites readers to join Jin and her family in the outskirts of Inner Mongolia to remind us that though we all have different customs and traditions, we are more alike than not, and that mischief lives within all of us.
