"Beautiful and heartwarming, gentle yet powerful, truly a book to
treasure." Sophie Anderson, author of The House with Chicken Legs
Everything so far, if Peijing had to sum it up, was a string of
small awkward experiences that she hoped would end soon. The night
of the Mid-Autumn festival, making mooncakes with Ah-Ma, was the
last time Peijing remembers her life being the same. Now facing a
new home, a new school and a new language, everything is different.
Peijing thinks everything is going to turn out okay as long as they
all have each other. But cracks are starting to appear in the
family. Biju, lovable but annoying, needs Peijing to be the
dependable big sister. Ah-Ma keeps forgetting who she is; and Ma Ma
and Ba Ba are no longer themselves. Peijing has no idea how she's
supposed to cope with the uncertainties of her own world while
shouldering the burden of everyone else. If her family are the four
quarters of the mooncake, where does she even fit in? A
big-hearted, magical story about sisterhood and a family finding
their way in a new place.
