This is Jean Kwok's first novel and it is wonderful. Kim and her mom move to America from Hong Kong. Kim's aunt puts them in a horrible apartment and pays them a measly amount to work in the factory. She hardly speaks English when she's enrolled in school. But with time we all see how intelligent Kim is and how she adapts to her new life.
**** out of 5 stars.
