Key Features

Description

Evan Pao is ready for a fresh start. He and his mom and sister have moved from California to Haddington, Virginia, for just that: to begin a new life outside the shadow of his dad's criminal activities. Here in Virginia, maybe they could escape the hostility and the sideways looks. Maybe he could just be Evan, again.

Only, it turns out that Evan is the only Chinese American kid in his class here, and nobody is going to let him forget it-especially not his new classmate Brady. In school, Evan finds himself facing a barrage of casual ignorance as well as Brady's bullying. But everything comes to a head when a violent incident forces Evan to confront what it means to stand out, what it means to stand up, and what it means to forgive.

Wendy Wan-Long Shang, the critically acclaimed author of Asian/Pacific American Library Association Award for Children's Literature winner The Great Wall of Lucy Wu, weaves a timely and deeply moving portrait of all the secret battles Evan Pao must fight as he struggles to figure out how he fits into this country's past, as well as his own family's...and where that leaves him in the present.
