Julia does not like using chopsticks, she does not want to learn how to speak Chinese and she definitely does not want to spend a week at Camp Little Big Woods with Avery and Becca, her “Chinese sisters.”
But most of all, Julia does not want to talk about being adopted from China. Even though Avery and Becca were also adopted from the same orphanage at the same time as her, Julia wants nothing to do with her Chinese heritage. Read More
Teaser
Who eats Cheetos with chopsticks?! Avery and Becca, my "Chinese Sisters," that's who. We're not really sisters-we were just adopted from the same orphanage. And we're nothing alike. They like egg rolls, and I like pizza. They're wave around Chinese fans, and I pretend like I don't know them. Which is not easy since we're all going to summer camp to "bond." We have to journal about our time at camp so the adoption agency can do some kind of "where are they now" newsletter. I'll tell you where I am: At Camp Little Big Lake in a cabin with five other girls who aren't getting along, competing for a camp trophy and losing (badly).
