Explanation As Books The Year of the Book (Anna Wang #1)
In Chinese, peng you means friend. But in any language, all Anna knows for certain is that friendship is complicated.When Anna needs company, she turns to her books. Whether traveling through A Wrinkle in Time, or peering over My Side of the Mountain, books provide what real life cannot—constant companionship and insight into her changing world.
Books, however, can’t tell Anna how to find a true friend. She’ll have to discover that on her own. In the tradition of classics like Maud Hart Lovelace’s Betsy-Tacy books and Eleanor Estes’ One Hundred Dresses, this novel subtly explores what it takes to make friends and what it means to be one.

This is a sweet, quick read. I enjoyed it, although I felt like more needed to happen. I don't think I will remember much of this book for very long. There are lots of fun literary references though!This reminded me a bit of Project Mulberry by Linda Sue Park.
I just read a book I wished I had read a year ago: "The Year of the Book" by Andrea ChengIt's not a great story, but it's great because it is a year in the life of a modern, American Born Chinese girl. Here's why it's a powerful book to be familiar with as a fourth grade teacher. It's written at an AR 3.6 level - very much an "on the cusp" reading level for a somewhat struggling beginning fourth grader. It's a chapter book, but it's semi-illustrated so it's a good transitional book for those
In this story, a shy Chinese-American girl turns to books to get through her fourth grade year but learns to make friends with a little girl whose family is going through a bad divorce, an elderly widowed man, and her school's crossing guard. What I enjoyed about this book was that Anna reminded me of me--I had a terrible time making friends as a child and also dove into books.

An easy and pleasant read about an American born Chinese girl, dealing with everyday problems and reading lots of books.Anna is in 4th grade (around 9-10 years old?), loves to read, doesn't like to learn Chinese, and isn't very good at friendships. Because of the events, she meets a new girl and also learns to appreciate more the time she spends with her childhood friend.An easy read with a small number of pages, nice illustrations and a low level of language. I'm not complaining here, it's a
I enjoyed this book far more than I originally thought I would, for so many reasons. This is a real-life fictional story told from the perspective of Chinese-American fourth grader, Anna Wang. This little girl reminds me so much of myself at that age, or someone I could have been best friends with in fourth grade. Books are Anna's best friends and reading is her favorite thing in the world to do. She enjoys the learning aspect of school more than socializing, and takes more of an interest in the
