This inoffensive romance for young teens has a twist: can cultural prejudices within a race doom a blossoming relationship? Sue and Andy meet in the school orchestra and are immediately drawn to each other. Sue is of Chinese descent and Andy is of Japanese background. In their predominantly white high school, everyone assumes they would naturally go together. But their classmates aren't aware that a deep-seated history between China and Japan negatively influences the views of Sue's and Andy's parents. Being American-born, Sue and Andy don't have a problem with each other but how can they persuade their parents, especially Sue's Grandma Mei? At times, I found the teen dialogue awkwardly formal (I don't hear teens saying "I'm Chinese American" or "He's Caucasian" as much as they would say "I'm Chinese" or "he's white."), but otherwise it brings up a topic that many teens would identify with or be intrigued by. ( ) Sue Hua (a Chinese-American teen) and Andy Suzuki (a Japanese-American teen)face difficulties from their families when they begin to date. Both families have deep-seeded prejudices. The teens hide their relationship, but face the fact that their relationship may be revealed when their families get together to prepare for a school orchestra trip to Tokyo. A good book about prejudice that middle school readers could easily understand. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
