Summary

Published Reviews

Booklist Review: "Readers first encountered Grace, the daughter of Taiwanese parents, in The Year of the Dog (2006), in which she met a new friend, Melody, and found her life's purpose as a writer. Now, it's the Chinese New Year, the Year of the Rat, a year with the reputation for changes. Sure enough, Melody, Grace's almost twin, moves to California, leaving Grace to try and make new friends and learn how to be true to herself and her writing. In a moving subplot, Grace comes face to face with her own prejudice: an Asian boy joins her class, and Grace wants no part of him. As in the previous offering, the text is given depth by Grace's parents' stories about their own childhoods, and enlivened by charming ink drawings, which range from the illustrations of people that inhabit Grace's world to simple items, such as birthday cakes and holiday food. An endearing story that will touch readers--Cooper, Ilene Copyright 2007 Booklist"

Publisher's Weekly Review: "Grace Lin's plucky heroine from The Year of the Dog returns in The Year of the Rat. Here Pacy deals with a friend's move and works to improve her writing and artwork.
