Parachute Kids by Betty C. Tang
4.5
emotional tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I enjoyed the narrative voice here and the different struggles the siblings faced acclimating to the U.S. But dang, was this stressful. It seemed like something always went wrong. Everything doesn't get a fairytale ending, but that made it more realistic.
