“with nuance and care, this graphic novel captures the struggles and frustrations of those between cultures…The artwork has an appealingly exaggerated, mangalike flair, vividly bringing to life the sisters’ emotions.”
~~Kirkus
“In this story of cultural heritage and identity reconciliation, LaMotte and Xu explore the often nebulous, isolating experience of not quite fitting in…Moments of humor captured through playful anime-like facial expressions and gestures propel the plot.”
~~Horn Book
Would you rather blend in or stand out? Claire and Michelle used to be best friends, but now the two sisters couldn’t be more different. Michelle will do anything to fit in, even if it means denying her Taiwanese culture, whereas Claire is proud of who she is. So much so that she decides to become a junior counselor at a Taiwanese American summer camp.

Sensing a rift between the two, their parents decide to send them both off to camp, much to Michelle’s dismay. As summer continues, both sisters learn more about their culture and each other. But Michelle must eventually decide to either embrace her culture and family or assimilate into the popular group at school. Which will she choose?
