The price was the cheapest, the quality of the book was just as they rated it, the package arrived promptly- I would definitely buy from this seller again! I needed this book for a school assignment and if they have what I need in the future, I'll look for their name! Thanks :)

) This book is certainly a juvenile chapter book. The book's readability is probably 3rd to 6th(easy) grade. I do not recommend it as a challengeing read. The main character, Shirley, goes through small ups and downs caused by a culture clash as she becomes used to leaving what she has known in China and acculturates herself in the United States. Children enjoy reading about how he seems to get something something wrong in almost every chapter until it's happy ending. Worth reading for understanding some challenges particular to Asian-American immigrants or immigrants in general.
