Ruth Chan publishing house: Roaring Brook Press 2024 - 9 other title: Uprooted: A Memoir About What Happens When Your Family Moves Back
Perfect for fans of New Kid and A First Time for Everything, a joyful and tearful debut middle grade graphic memoir about one girl being uprooted when she moves to Hong Kong, a place where her family fits in but, for her, it's nothing like home. Ruth Chan loves her hometown in Toronto, hanging out with her best friends for life, and snacking on ketchup flavored potato chips, which are the best. What Ruth doesn’t love is having to move to Hong Kong after her dad gets a new job there. Her mom is excited to reunite with her family, but it’s not the same for Ruth. In Hong Kong, her classes are harder, her Cantonese isn’t good enough, and her parents are never around. Ruth feels lonely and completely uprooted. But as Ruth’s dad tells stories about her family, about how they relied on their strength, courage, and each other to survive the most difficult times, Ruth realizes that she too can be strong. Gradually, she puts down roots, knowing that home will always be where her heart is.

加拿大华裔回流香港的 coming-of-age 故事,因为同为广东人所以有点兴趣,但这故事记录得太流水账,画得也不行。本来爷爷那代逃难的故事可以挖掘出更多和这一代回流香港联系起来的,但最后只落足于没有人照顾“我”的想法“我”好苦闷啊这点上。
