(2) YA Lucy Lam wins a scholarship to elite girls' school Laurinda, leaving behind her shabby Melbourne suburb, Chinese-Vietnamese-immigrant parents, baby brother, and closest companion Linh. But Lucy's unwillingness to conform to the ethnic-novelty role turns her into a targeted pariah. In Pung's Australian import, Lucy's first-person missives to Linh pull readers alongside her uncertain navigation of two worlds; readers will cheer as Lucy embraces who she is.
