Van McGary, Booklist (Starred review)

A big-hearted story and a beautiful ode to sisters. In a lyrical, moving way Biju and Peijing experience the good, the bad and the wonder that comes with culture shock . . . Together, they navigate this time through the safety of magic, myth and imagination in storytelling. It’s very real and very inspiring . . . I couldn’t recommend it more.
