Publisher Notes
This spellbinding tale of the contradictions and special heritage of growing up Chinese-American is set in early 1960s Chinatown in San Francisco. Child of the Owl "combines chiseled fantasy with the anxiety of growing up poor and nonwhite".--Kirkus Reviews. Winner of the Boston GLobe-Horn Book Award for Fiction.
Synopses
A twelve-year-old girl who knows little about her Chinese heritage is sent to live with her grandmother in San Francisco's Chinatown.
First Line
It was hard to understand Barney with the air tubes up his nose. It made his voice funny and he couldn't talk very loud.
