5.0 out of 5 stars
A VERY THOUGHTFUL AND FUNNY BOOK,
By A Customer
This review is from: Yang the Eldest and His Odd Jobs (Hardcover)
I've long been a fan of Lensey Namioka's books, especially her mysteries featuring the two Japanese samurai, Zenta and Matsuzo. However, her new series of books featuring the irrepresible Yang family have proven to be delightful. I thought this installment, featuring the eldest Yang child, was thoughtful and well-written. It tells of the problems that eldest children have to go through (I'm one myself) and how hard work can overcome the worst of odds- like when Yang the Eldest injured his finger, which is absolutely devastating to any violin player. This novel illustrated the cultural differences that exist between China and America and the lives of a family of Chinese immigrants trying to make it in America.
