Bookroo's summary

Anna embarks on a journey from middle school to China, grappling with her identity. As she navigates cultural roots and self-discovery, will she find where she truly belongs? Join Anna in this heartfelt exploration of identity and belonging.

From the publisher

Eleven-year-old Anna heads off to sixth grade, leaving the comfort and familiarity of elementary school behind and entering the larger, more complex world of middle school. Surrounded by classmates who have their roots all in America, Anna begins to feel out of place and wonders where she really belongs. When Anna takes a trip to China, she not only explores a new country and culture, but finds answers to her questions about whether she is more Chinese or more American. This young illustrated chapter book is the third in the series that includes The Year of the Book and The Year of the Baby. For grades 1-4.
