Bookroo's summary

Anna, a young Asian-American girl, finds solace in her favorite books as she navigates the complexities of friendship and family. But when books can't guide her to a true friend, Anna must step out of her comfort zone. Will she discover the meaning of real friendship in her fourth-grade world, or will she remain lost in stories? Join Anna on her journey of self-discovery and connection, where the stakes are as high as the bonds she hopes to form.
