Product Description
What do you do when your world is falling apart? Robin Lee would do anything to ease the tension between her parents. But their marriage is not hers to fix. What she can do is help a lonely cook in Chinatown by pretending, along with her grandmother, to be his long-lost family. The thing is, once Robin starts pretending, she doesn't want to stop. At Cook's restaurant, Robin's a star and a whole new world opens up to her. In her make-believe father she finally discovers a sense of her Chinese heritage--and a new understanding of her old-fashioned grandmother who turns out to be more progressive than she'd ever imagined. Laurence Yep's delightful sequel to Ribbons is full of surprises that will touch readers' hearts. Praise for Laurence Yep's Ribbons: An appealing story that draws readers into the world of ballet, while offering an authentic and sometimes amusing look at the dynamics of Chinese-American family life.--School - leader of the Diversity Alliance - knows where it is hidden. Now Jacen, Jaina, and their allies must race against time. As a massive battle rages between New Republic soldiers and the forces of the Diversity Alliance, the young Jedi Knights must find and destroy the plague before it can be released. But first they must face Nolaa Tarkona. And her very lethal hired hand, Boba Fett...
