She's ready to rule the school as a sixth grader, go out for captain of the school basketball team, and take over the bedroom she has always shared with her sister. In an instant, though, her plans are shattered when she finds out that Yi Po, her beloved grandmother's sister, is coming to visit for several months -- and is staying in Lucy's room. Lucy's vision of a perfect year begins to crumble, and in its place come an unwelcome roommate, foiled birthday plans, a bully who tries to scare Lucy off the basketball team, and Chinese school with the annoying know-it-all Talent Chang. Lucy's year is ruined -- or is it? A wonderfully funny, warm, and heartfelt tale about the ways life often reveals silver linings in the most unexpected of clouds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWendy Wan-Long Shang is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Great Wall of Lucy Wu\u003c\/i\u003e, which was awarded the Asian\/Pacific American Award for Children's Literature; \u003ci\u003eThe Way Home Looks Now\u003c\/i\u003e, an Amelia Bloomer Project List selection and a CCBC Choices List selection; \u003ci\u003eThe Secret Battle of Evan Pao\u003c\/i\u003e, which received multiple starred reviews; Sydney Taylor Honor Book \u003ci\u003eThis Is Just a Test\u003c\/i\u003e, which she cowrote with Madelyn Rosenberg; and \u003ci\u003eNot Your All-American Girl\u003c\/i\u003e, a \u003ci\u003eTablet Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e Best Children's Book, also cowritten with Madelyn Rosenberg.
