Assessment Containing Books Red Thread Sisters

Such a lovely book! I fell in love with it the first day I started reading it. I think it demonstrates the true meaning of the Chinese legend of a red thread connecting two people no matter what.It starts out at a Chinese orphanage and tells of the main character, Wen, and her life growing up with her "sister".

Four words: I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!! this book made my heart do little jumps of joy when I read it. At some parts I felt like I would never be able to put the book down!:)

Compelling portrayal of international older child adoption.

While trying to be brave and a good daughter so that her parents won't send her back, which is her greatest fear because that happened to another child at the orphanage while she was there, Wen also desperately wants to be reunited with her beloved friend in the

WIIA: A Chinese orphan who becomes adopted, has to get used to American life and her new family, but mostly about her trying to find a home for her friend in China also a orphan. Pros: Sweet book, inspiring. The author was mediocre, but I enjoyed reading. Cons: I would gauge the reading level to more geared for 9-12, so some parts we somewhat boring. It was sad to here about how Wen, the orphan was left by her mother! I cried :( Iffy: This is a clean book, divorce is mentioned, but unfortunately
