About This Book

Avvy Go, a sixteen-year-old girl living in Toronto's Chinatown, navigates the complicated balance between her immigrant community and the more privileged world of her high school. Facing tough choices and hidden truths, she struggles to find where she truly belongs while deciding what to share and what to keep secret. Her story reveals the challenges of growing up between two very different cultures.
