Dumpling Days by Grace Lin
4.0
Book Riot Prompt: Read a middle-grade book that does not take place in US or UK.
Pacy and her family go to Taiwan in this third installment. They are going for a big birthday celebration for her Grandmother's 60th birthday. While there Pacy gets to experience everything that makes Taiwan so beautiful the food and the culture, but she also experiences some not-so-pleasant things. Overall, she finds Taiwan is also home and is happy to be not only American but Taiwanese American. Loved the third book so far the most, probably because the food described made my mouth water for most of the story. I also found myself relating to Pacy and her unease with being in a home where she does not speak the language. I really hope there is more to her adventures and I have grown in love with Pacy and her family.
