I really enjoyed this book and read it in one day. Mercy is a great character - spunky, smart, and funny. Stacey Lee writes in this historical fiction about a Chinese girl living in San Francisco in the early 1900s. She ends up going to a prestigious school for girls and making new friends, and then has to deal with a huge tragedy - the great earthquake of 1906. I found that there were almost too many characters in the book, though, although each one of them was interesting. I recommend this for anyone who likes historical fiction and wants to learn more about a different culture.
