The Year of the Dog, by Grace Lin

This book starts out with a Chinese New Year, all the relatives were coming, the aunts, uncles and cousins. This was the year of the dog, every year was a different animal but something special is supposed to happen because its’ the Year of the Dog. The dog is known to be faithful and man’s best friend. This year is for thinking, finding new friends and yourself. This is the year to find out what you want to do when you grow up and what your values are. As the year goes on Pacy struggles to find her talent, makes a new best friend and discovers why the Year of the Dog is a lucky one for her.

This was a really enjoyable book and it gave a lot of interesting tidbits about the Chinese people.
