New country. New life. Whole new world . . .
When the coronavirus hits Hong Kong, ten-year-old Knoxs mom makes the last-minute decision to move him and his siblings to California, where they think they will be safe from the virus.
But life in America isnt easy. At Knoxs new school, the other kids think that because he is from Asia, he must have brought over the virus. At home, Moms freaking out because she just got fired, and Dad doesnt know when hell see them all again, because all flights out of Hong Kong have been cancelled.
As racism skyrockets during COVID, can Knox stand up to hate while finding his place in his new country
Based on her own lived experience, No. 1New York Timesbestselling author Kelly Yang spins a heart-warming tale of courage, hope and resilience in the face of unprecedented times.
This is a warm, sensitive, deep-dive of a family story, full of kid logic, bitter sibling rivalry, and the imperative to stand up to racism. Is essential reading to process what weve all been through. Guardian
