The Secret of the Jade Bangle by Linda Trinh

5.0

A great first book in a new middle grade easy reader series that features three Vietnamese Canadian siblings and the various gifts they inherit from their recently deceased grandmother. This book features the eldest sibling, nine year old Anne, named after Anne of Green Gables who is visited by the spirit of her grandmother when her family's ritual offerings are too 'Canadian.' Her grandmother teaches Anne how to make more traditional food while also helping her deal with incidents of racism Anne experiences from her ballet teacher. Good on audio and great for fans of authors like Kelly Yang.
