Ly-Lan Finds a Way

Sometimes things don't turn out the way we plan! In this chapter book series about a daughter of Vietnamese immigrants, Ly-Lan navigates her life as a new third grader-complete with old and new friends, unexpected (and disappointing) changes at home and school, and finding a way to thrive. Third grade is not starting the way Ly-Lan pictured. First, her best friend Cece is put in another class--even after Ly-Lan prayed they would be in the same one. And then Ly-Lan is tasked with showing the new Vietnamese student around. Ly-Lan wants to hang out with Cece, not play translator to the new girl, and she doesn't understand why her prayers aren't being answered. If Ly-Lan is going to survive and thrive in third grade, she must learn to trust in God's plans, especially when it means making some adjustments to her own.
