After years of discomfort as the only Chinese student at her private middle school, Emily transfers to Chinatown's I.S. 23 for 8th Grade and ends up feeling more disconnected than ever. In this coming-of-age novel-in-verse, will Emily be able to find her way or will she lose herself completely?

After a year of distance-learning, Emily Sofer finds her world turned upside down: she has to leave the only school she's ever known to attend a public school in Chinatown. For the first time, Emily isn't the only Chinese student around...but looking like everyone else doesn't mean that understanding them will be easy--especially with an intimidating group of cool girls Emily calls The Five.

When Emily discovers that her adoptive parents have been keeping a secret, she feels even more uncertain about who she is. A chance discovery of Emily Dickinson's poetry helps her finally feel seen. . . but can the words of a writer from 200 years ago help her open up again, and find common ground with the Five?

Aurora H. ★★★★★

I read it in one sitting because Emily's voice feels so real, and the way her Chinatown school becomes its own kind of maze kept me turning pages. The loneliness is sharp but the small moments of connection land perfectly.

Alexander ★★★★★

The way this book captures the isolation of being the only Chinese student in a private school hit me right in the chest, and the shift to Chinatown's I.S. 23 made the disconnect even more painful to read. It's a coming-of-age story that doesn't sugarcoat how hard it is to belong anywhere, and I cou

Kevin I. ★★★★★

Emily's voice is so raw and honest that I found myself nodding along even though I'm way past middle school. The way the book captures that feeling of being stuck between two worlds, especially the Chinatown setting, makes it impossible to put down. I finished it in one sitting and immediately wante
