Acclaimed, award-winning author Linda Sue Park has placed a young half-Asian girl, Hanna, in a small town in America's heartland, in 1880. Hanna's adjustment to her new surroundings, which primarily means negotiating the townspeople's almost unanimous prejudice against Asians, is at the heart of the story. Narrated by Hanna, the novel has poignant moments yet sparkles with humor, introducing a captivating heroine whose wry, observant voice will resonate with readers. \u003ci\u003eAfterword.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLinda Sue Park\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the Newbery Medal book \u003ci\u003eA Single Shard\u003c\/i\u003e and bestseller \u003ci\u003eA Long Walk to Water\u003c\/i\u003e.
