As a kid, I was also slow to read and spent years in elementary school Special ED Reading and Speech Therapy before jumping ahead of my classmates. <br /><br />Amanda & Barrie, I read the first quarter while I was traveling and then finished the rest the day after I came home, so closer to 300 pages. Yes, it was that gripping and you’d both enjoy it.<br /><br />Lyndi, Cloudburster and Troutbirder, thanks! I enjoyed your reviews too. <br /><br />Troutbirder, you must have been a wonderful teacher and what a terrific middle school to offer a class combining English and History.<br /><br />A Cuban in London, there were lots of good expressions, some of Chinese origin and others American or invented by the author.Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259325291907281485.post-44739617837987654322016-05-05T14:30:14.713-04:002016-05-05T14:30:14.713-04:00Reading a 400 page novel in one day?

There are WAY too few YA novels out there that deal with Asian characters and this slice of American history. I'm intrigued. Thanks for reviewing.

And then when he decided to learn, he took off. (He was the same way with bike riding. :) ) Thank you for reviewing!

In enjoyed your reviews too.<br /><br />Alyssa, it would be fun to read this book before or during your visit so you could retrace Mercy’s steps. I recognized a bunch of streets and landmarks, although the whole city was rebuilt after the earthquake and fire. The hotel we stayed in was one of the first building constructed after that. You’ll love San Francisco. Check out my San Francisco post for hotel and restaurant recommendations. <br /><br />Stacy, my son was slow to read for his age, not mastering it until the end of first grade. Then he jumped from Harry Potter to adult fiction and nonfiction, mostly natural disaster books. It was hard to find age-appropriate books for his ability so I’m always on the lookout for novels like this one for other parents facing this challenge. Do let me know what you think of this book.Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259325291907281485.post-58771394242749988532016-05-04T12:25:01.941-04:002016-05-04T12:25:01.941-04:00Your son would have enjoyed this in THIRD grade? ...Your son would have enjoyed this in THIRD grade?
