Speak enters the world of Gossip Girl in this modern immigrant story
from New York Times bestselling author Kelly Yang about two girls
navigating wealth, power, friendship, and trauma.
They’re called parachutes: teenagers dropped off to live in private
homes and study in the United States while their wealthy parents remain
in Asia. Claire Wang never thought she’d be one of them, until her
parents pluck her from her privileged life in Shanghai and enroll her
at a high school in California.
Suddenly she finds herself living in a stranger’s house, with no one to
tell her what to do for the first time in her life. She soon embraces
her newfound freedom, especially when the hottest and most eligible
parachute, Jay, asks her out.
Dani De La Cruz, Claire’s new host sister, couldn’t be less thrilled
that her mom rented out a room to Claire. An academic and debate team
star, Dani is determined to earn her way into Yale, even if it means
competing with privileged kids who are buying their way to the top. But
Dani’s game plan veers unexpectedly off course when her debate coach
starts working with her privately.
As they steer their own distinct paths, Dani and Claire keep crashing
into one another, setting a course that will change their lives
forever.
From #1 NYT bestselling author Kelly Yang comes a gorgeously
illustrated picture book about Asian American changemakers doing
everything they dreamed of and inspiring all of us to reach for new
