A poignant tale about a girl and her cherished grandfather. Chan combines realities of Asian British life with stories from Chinese mythology, forming the backdrop for a chaotic, hilarious road trip. Even more touching is Lizzie's journey toward understanding her grandfather's probable dementia and learning to ask for help. A layered, emotionally resonant story. -- Kirkus Reviews
