Holly-Mei leaves Toronto for Hong Kong because of her mother’s job and must manage a new school, unfamiliar rules and different expectations.
A popular girl at Holly-Mei’s new school is described as becoming a frenemy while Holly-Mei struggles to follow new rules and expectations.
Holly-Mei’s loving Ah-ma stays in Toronto, leaving Holly-Mei without her usual guidance during the move and school transition.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the book’s treatment of its main themes is not yet firm enough; some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
