I am reviewing a copy of Morning Sun in Wuhan through Clarion Books and Netgalley:
Morning Sun in Wuhan tells the story of what the Pandemic of the century was like at the very beginning.
Written by an award winning author originally from Wuhan, Morning Sun In Wuhan weaves in the tastes and sounds of the historic city, Wuhan’s comforting and distinctive cuisine comes to life as the reader follows 13-year-old Mei who, through her love for cooking, makes a difference in her community.
Thirteen year old Mei was grieving the death of her Mother and was an outcast at school. She finds solace in her computer games as well as cooking.
When her friend’s grandmother falls ill, Mei seeks out her father, a doctor, for help, and discovers the hospital is overcrowded. As the virus spreads, Mei finds herself alone in a locked-down city trying to find a way to help.
The author Ying Chang Compestine draws on her experiences growing up in Wuhan to illustrate that the darkest times can bring out the best in people, friendship can give one courage in frightening times, and most importantly, young people can make an impact on the world.
I give Growing Up in Wuhan five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
