Summary: Great effort to explain the hardships of coming to the US
Comment: and adjusting to change, but I felt some of the situations did not portray the true way of life for Hmong teens.
I'm surprised that with so many people editing and contributing feedback to this book, how come there were consistent Hmong spelling errors? I question why the only Hmong words that were used repeatedly were derrogative ones? ('Raum' which was meant to be 'ruam', meaning stupid)The pronounciation keys could use some work too.
I do appreciate the interesting facts about the paj ntaub designs. This skill is being deprecated and the knowledge being written will be useful.
This book should inspire Hmongs to create a voice that will ring true and represent the complicated emotions of growing up in America and holding on to your roots.

Summary: A so-so book
Comment: As a Hmong-American, I thought the book did a good job explaining parts of the Hmong culture and had interesting information about the Hmong people, despite the fact that some Hmong words were spelled incorrectly. But overall, I thought the book was only okay. The plot was basic and characters were not very well-developed. The reading level of this book would fit more with middle school kids, so I would only suggest it to kids in grades 6-8.
