Product Description:
Ten-year-old Sarah Misses her best friend and neighbour, Victoria, terribly. She still waits for her in the back garden in case she comes back. The last thing Sarah needs is to be paired with the new girl at school, Tina, who has just arrived from China. Sarah is used to being confused with other Far-Eastern students at school but she doesn't want to assume that she and Tina have a lot in common. Sarah and Tina are reluctant to forge a friendship but both of them must come to terms with the changes in their lives. This an immigrant story with a twist. Told in alternating stories and in the innocent voices of two ten year old girls, "Honeysuckle House" addresses alienation, longing, prejudice, and cultural differences without ever losing touch with the true pre-occupations of childhood.

Sarah is trying to be your typical fourth grader. That is not so easy when you are just about the only Asian American at school. Sarah's best friend is suddenly ripped from her life. Her father is often absent. She has enough trouble. Then, Ting /Tina, a new girl from China, joins her class. Tina also misses her best friend and has her own share of troubles. Cheng has a wonderful writing style and a unique voice. Karen, East Asian Children's Books.
Rating: -
Ten-year-old Sarah misses her best friend terribly, but finds herself paired with a new girl in school who has just arrived from China. Sarah resents the pairing with another Asian student - and finds their common cultural roots still don't make up for the fact she's been raised in America and Tina is a newcomer. A reluctant friendship forms as the two find close ties to bind them in Honeysuckle House's inviting story of friendship.
