Overview

It's 1965 in a small town in Massachusetts. Linda is a quiet girl ready to make friends. Wendy Wei is the new girl, originally from Hong Kong. Linda understands what it is like to be new and she quickly introduces herself to Wendy. Soon they are joined by Judy Weinstein who impresses the other two with her quick thinking. Before long, the three are working together to bring Wendy's Chinese grandmother, Nai-Nai, out of her shell, using Judy's Jewish grandmother's baking secrets to finish their science project and learning Yiddish, Chinese and Yankee proverbs and language to bring them closer together. Through the girl's friendship, their families learn that we are all more alike than different. This book includes a glossary of Yankee, Chinese and Yiddish words, cultural notes, and a food reference section.
