A brief drama that just about manages to break out from the frame of "worthy book about something" and enter the world of "entertaining story". It is a book with a specific intent, however – to convey the problems an immigrant child would have with a new language in the fast-talking, colloquial fashion of her contemporaries, and to encourage children in a similar situation. For that niche purpose it does very well, but I can't say it's a title that would entertain all-comers. The four stars reflect how well it does as regards its intended goal.
This was an endearing story that shows a younger audience some of the struggle people face when moving to a new country or place. The artwork was adorable and added so much to the story. Bright colors and clear lines will appeal to many, many kids and adults alike.
