- Synopsis
- Ginny is sure that the new girl her second-grade class will be her best friend. After all, Stephanie is Chinese, just like Ginny. But Ginny is puzzled to learn that Stephanie doesn't eat Chinese food and hates her straight black hair. And surprisingly, her parents aren't even Chinese. Ginny is excited to have Stephanie attend her family's big holiday party, at which Stephanie spies a hand-carved jade dragon and ask-to take it home. Ginny agrees, but what if MaMá notices the missing heirloom? Ginny wants a best friend more than anything, but is worth losing her prize possession? Drawing on her own life story, Virginia Shin-Mui Loh joins acclaimed author Carolyn Marsden to poignantly capture Ginny's dilemma as she navigates between her culture and her friendship.
