Get ready for this interactive book experience! A Book Dragon Box is a box you'll pick up from the library filled with your free book and surprises that correlate with the chosen book.
The Winter selection for the book box is... Maizy Chen's Last Chance by Lisa Yee.
Maizy has never been to Last Chance, Minnesota . . . until now. Her mom’s plan is just to stay for a couple weeks, until her grandfather gets better. But plans change, and as Maizy spends more time in Last Chance (where she and her family are the only Asian Americans) and at the Golden Palace—the restaurant that’s been in her family for generations—she makes some discoveries. For instance:
You can tell a LOT about someone by the way they order food.
And people can surprise you. Sometimes in good ways, sometimes in disappointing ways.
And the Golden Palace has secrets.
But the more Maizy discovers, the more questions she has. Like, why are her mom and her grandmother always fighting? Who are the people in the photographs on the office wall? And when she discovers that a beloved family treasure has gone missing—and someone has left a racist note—Maizy decides it’s time to find the answers."
This book is recommended for ages 8-12. Please note this box will contain oolong tea and fortune cookies!
