       immigration, belonging, and how arts can save a life--
       perfect for fans of American Born Chinese and Hey, Kiddo. 
       For as long as she can remember, it's been Robin and her 
       mom against the world. Growing up as the only child of a 
       single mother in Seoul, Korea, wasn't always easy, but it 
       has bonded them fiercely together. So when a vacation to 
       visit friends in Huntsville, Alabama, unexpectedly becomes
       a permanent relocation--following her mother's 
       announcement that she's getting married--Robin is 
       devastated. Overnight, her life changes. She is dropped 
       into a new school where she doesn't understand the 
       language and struggles to keep up. She is completely cut 
       off from her friends in Seoul and has no access to her 
       beloved comics. At home, she doesn't fit in with her new 
       stepfamily, and worst of all, she is furious with the one 
       person she is closest to--her mother. Then one day Robin's
       mother enrolls her in a local comic drawing class, which 
       opens the window to a future Robin could never have 
       imagined"--Amazon.com.
