Binh lives in a small house in Vietnam with her older brother, mom, father and her grandmother. She has always wanted to go to school and visit the beach. Binh’s best friend is her older cousin Cuc. Binh and Cuc always go to see a movie on the weekends about teenagers who live in America. So, when she hears that her aunt from America is coming Binh thinks that she will be rich and dress in beautiful clothing. She hopes that her aunt will take her back to America but when her aunt arrives she is in for a big surprise.

I thought this book was very touching and I enjoyed it a lot.
