Teenage Girl Living in a Prejudice World,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: More Than Meets the Eye (Hardcover)
The story line has a prejudice plot, with the story starting to sound like a mushy romance, but of course, no story is complete without one. When all is well, some Asian comes, Dary Sing, and that is mainly when the prejudice starts. Brad, a big jock, has a crush on Liz, the main character, but Liz loves Been Lee, a natural born United States citizen with a Chinese heritage. So you can see the love circle problem here right? Liz, though, helps Dary try to fit in and with her English, but only Dary, Mrs. Dahm (Darys aunt) and the teachers cares. But it seems that when she is with Dary Ben avoids her. But even for ben to see Liz he has to lie to his parents. Will ben ever face up tp his parents? Will Brad ever stop being prejudice? Will Dary unravel her horrific past of Cambodia? Read More Than Meets The Eye.Ok, this book was ok, not bad really. Although it did get boring in some spots but the rest was ok. This book would be great for all readers.
