Dragonwings

by Laurence Yep
We read this for our homeschool Book Group. I was not happy with this book and skipped several parts of it just to get through it. Part of the problem is that I was reading it to children who were really too young for the content. This is about a boy from China who lives in California and the struggles on the Chinese-Americans there. There is fighting, drug references, and thematic events that I did not feel were appropriate for my girls, but the book is a Young Adult novel meant for grades 4-7.
