DANNY CHUNG SUMS IT UP
By Maisie Chan (author), Natelle Quek (illustrator)
Eleven-year-old Danny’s life is turned upside down when his Chinese grandmother comes to live with his family in England. Things get worse when Danny finds out he’ll have to share his room with her, and she took the top bunk! His parents insist that Danny help out, so when he’s left to look after Nai Nai, he leaves her at the bingo hall for the day to get her off his back. But he soon discovers that not everyone there is as welcoming as he expected... Filled with heart and humor, Danny Chung Sums It Up shows that traversing two cultures is possible and worth the effort, even if it’s not always easy.
Kirkus Reviews - "Funny and heartwarming; a balanced equation of family, culture, and being true to yourself." (Read full writeup here.)
