    friendship, feelings, and culture
  

*by S***F on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 27, 2015*

Anna does not seem to have a lot in common with the other girls in school. Her mother is a housekeeper, which she doesn’t openly talk about. She goes to a Chinese language school during the weekends. Also, she just lost her friend, Laura, to a mean girls clique. She dives into reading—books are entertainment and information, and they stave off the loneliness.When Laura is going through a horrible time with family, Anna becomes closer to her. This is the part of the story I felt mixed about. I understood that Laura needed someone's support and that the two girls were affable with each other, but on the other hand I felt Anna was being used since Laura didn’t turn to her new friends, whom she had dumped Anna for. Maybe Laura could have been the new girl or a fellow introvert—something else that caused her to lean on Anna. Still, this is realistic and the author does give dimension to Laura and the mean girls.Other than that, I really enjoyed this story. I liked the diversity and reading about Chinese and Chinese-American culture. Aspects of Anna’s life become better and stronger as the story progresses. I loved her character and will look into reading the other “Year Of” books by the author.

    Fourth Grade Struggle
  

*by N***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 3, 2014*

*full review at tweenbookreviewsforyou.blogspot.comThis is another Battle of the Books gem.  Well, a gem if you're a girl reader.  Boys would have little interest in the girl dynamics that make up most of the story.Anna is a fourth grader whose parents are Chinese immigrants.  She must balance elementary school work and friends with Chinese school work and friends.  Throughout the book Anna is torn and feels like a misfit in whatever world she's trying to be apart of.  She struggles to make friends and navigate the subtle digs and taking behind backs and whispering that starts in fourth grade.

I really adored the year of the book. In case anybody is reading this, My School has a special way of writing book reviews. I will write one now!Are you a person that likes reading about School? Well then you MUST read the year of the book.  Anna wang is beginning fourth grade and she loves books. Her fiends and family has on and offs of nice and mean and it drives Anna plain CRAZY! Her fourth grade experience is a tough one indeed. She makes good friends and is Chinese. Will Anna ever have a peaceful moment in her life? Find out in The Year Of The Book. I would give this book 5 out of 5 stars!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
