Tina Cane: Are You Nobody Too?, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

After years as the only Chinese student at her private middle school, Emily transfers to Chinatown's I. S. 23 for 8th Grade and ends up feeling more disconnected than ever. In this coming-of-age novel-in-verse, now in paperback, will Emily be able to find her way or will she lose herself completely?

After a year of distance-learning, Emily Sofer finds her world turned upside down: she has to leave the only school she's ever known to attend a public school in Chinatown. For the first time, Emily isn't the only Chinese student around...but looking like everyone else doesn't mean that understanding them will be easy--especially with an intimidating group of cool girls Emily calls The Five.

When Emily discovers that her adoptive parents have been keeping a secret, she feels even more uncertain about who she is. A chance discovery of Emily Dickinson's poetry helps her finally feel seen. . . but can the words of a writer from 200 years ago help her open up again, and find common ground with the Five?
