Holly-Mei Jones has finally settled into her new friend group in Hong Kong-that is, until suddenly everyone starts talking about dating. Which Holly-Mei is not ready for. At least she has her school's Experience Week to look forward to. Holly-Mei can't wait to show off Taiwan, where her beloved Ah-Ma is from, to her friends. The trip is going to be perfect...right? Maybe not. On top of the pressure to date, Holly-Mei starts to wonder if maybe being half-Taiwanese isn't enough. In the face of these big questions, will Holly-Mei be able to finally feel like she belongs?"--Dust jacket.

Desperate to keep her friend group together, Holly-Mei convinces them to compete as a team in an inter-school tournament across Hong Kong, but when she becomes obsessed with winning, she pushes them away.

Holly-Mei Jones is moving to Hong Kong for her mother's job, and she can't wait for seventh grade in a new school, a new apartment, and a new city. But things don't go quite as planned, and Holly-Mei finds herself facing a whole new set of rules and expectations as well as a frenemy in the form of the most popular girl in school. To make matters worse, she can't even turn to her loving Ah-ma, who stayed behind in Toronto. Luckily, with the help of her cousins and some new friends, Holly-Mei finds a way to navigate her elite private school and a new city.

Two young sisters celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, admire their mooncakes decorated with a picture of a lady in the moon, and listen to their Ah-ma tell the ancient tale of how the holiday began.
