"Between homework, studying, and Chinese school, M?i Y?ng's summer is shaping up to be a boring one. Her only bright spots are practice with her soccer team, the Divas, and the time spent with her n?i nai, who is visiting from Taiwan. Although M?i Y?ng's Mandarin isn't the best and N?i Nai doesn't speak English, they find other ways to connect, like cooking gu?ti? together and doing tai chi in the mornings.

As Sid's bullying fuels M?i Y?ng's feelings of invisibility, she must learn to reclaim her identity and her voice"--Dust jacket.
