Girl in Translation by Jean Kwok



Excellent read! I'm not sure if I would liken it to A Tree Grows... as I read someone else did, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The ending was also special - poignant yet strong. This is the ultimate book of (stereotypes, yes) Girl Power! A definite read for any pre-teen/teen unsure of herself and needing a strong, female, values-driven hero.


I picked this up because it came across me at the library - someone else had checked it out. Not my usual read (for the past few months) - definitely not your straightforward definition of chic lit - (how I wish it was!). Smartly written, the main character is believable, genuine. Very well written as well. Possibly predictable, but not so much that it detracts from the story in any way.


Thank you, Ms. Kwok! Loved it - especially the way it ends :) (no, we don't need men to be successful and overall happy and well-rounded!)
