When one of her best friends goes back to the orphanage from where they were both adopted in Cambodia, it really gives Dara pause and opportunity to think about her feelings about her origins.
It's over the top at first and that turned me off a bit, but the author delves into some deeper issues and Dara gets more complex over the course of the book. Making the book much more than it seems in the early chapters. It would appeal to some younger middle school readers. ( )
