Chinese Cinderella (Puffin Teenage Books)

didnt stop reading till the end. the Chinese tradition back then was unbelievable.

Soo touching & the film was great

very moving,,,

I read this as a kid and really enjoyed it. They do some horrible things to that poor little girl, though.

It was sooo sad! its such a beautiful book. of how she stood up to her own step mother only to have it turned on her.

A very sad story about an innocent child who stood up to her abusive step-mother, only to become her next victim. And a father who balmed the child for her (birth) mother's death. Double-whammy. Luckily...her schools become her constant place of positive reinforcement and happiness. They saved her, as much as she saved herself. A very brave and strong character, who overcame the odds.
Hats off to Adeline!!

Our January/February read.

This book is worth going for a 2nd, 3rd, 4th..etc. round of reading. Is one of those books that captured my mind without me realizing how time flies by while reading it.

A touching narrative revealing personal accounts during the revolutionary periods of China, throughout war years and Communist takeover.

good book.. very sad...
