Description
Sometimes things don’t turn out the way we plan! In this chapter book series about a daughter of Vietnamese immigrants, Ly-Lan navigates her life as a new third grader—complete with old and new friends, unexpected (and disappointing) changes at home and school, and finding a way to thrive.
Third grade is not starting the way Ly-Lan pictured. First, her best friend Cece is put in another class—even after Ly-Lan prayed they would be in the same one. And then Ly-Lan is tasked with showing the new Vietnamese student around. Ly-Lan wants to hang out with Cece, not play translator to the new girl, and she doesn’t understand why her prayers aren’t being answered. If Ly-Lan is going to flourish in third grade, she must learn to trust in God’s plans, especially when it means making some adjustments to her own.
Ly-Lan and the New Class Mix-up:
- Is the first in a series of illustrated early chapter books about Ly-Lan, a third grader tackling familiar themes like friendship, overcoming obstacles, and navigating changes in life with grace
- Perfect for kids ages 6 and up or reluctant or emerging readers just starting to explore chapter books on their own.
- Is an encouraging listen for reluctant book explorers with its illustrated chapters.
- Is written by Vietnamese American author Ha Dinh, creator of HappyDaysinFirstGrade.com and @hellomrsdinh on Instagram

"Lightly Christian messaging permeates a classic friendship story in which Ly-Lan learns that 'God isn't a genie' who grants wishes and that people can have more than one friend. Dinh imbues Ly-Lan's emotional journey with brightness and heart in this gentle series opener." --Publisher's Weekly
"Simple yet engaging sentence structure, short chapters, and a wholesome message about embracing change and making new friends are perfect for early readers, who may also learn a few words in Vietnamese along the way...A warm early chapter book series, and shy; recommended for readers who love the and shy; 'Yasmin' books by and shy; Saadia Faruqi." --School Library Journal
