A copy of Tiger Daughter was provided to me for review by Random House Children's, Delacorte Press, and Netgalley:
The story of Tiger Daughter is both heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time!
First-generation Chinese immigrant Wen Zhou is the daughter of Chinese migrant parents. Her parents expect her to succeed in school, especially her father, whose strict rules make her feel trapped. In her dreams, she would like to create a future that is more satisfying than what her parents expect for her.
A boy named Henry, who is also a first generation immigrant, becomes her friend. Despite struggling with his English, he is the smartest boy at school and understands her better than anyone else. Together, they plan to take an entrance exam for a selective school far from home in order to escape.
It will take all of Wen's tiger strength and resilience to get herself and Henry through tragedy.
I give Tiger Daugter five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
