Overview

"A timely and positive look at what it means to grow up in a family of mixed cultures. A great novel for the growing percentage of mixed-race children growing up in America, this novel deals honestly with the feeling of being caught between two ethnicities. FIONA CHENG IS half and half- Her father is Chinese and her mother is Scottish. Fiona looks more like her father than her mother, so people always expect her to be more interested in her Chinese half than her Scottish half. Lately even Fiona's confused about who she really is. ""A realistic, gentle and funny tale.""-Detroit News & Free Press ""Readers will identify with Fiona's struggle to fit in.""-Publishers Weekly"
