The Child of the Owl

Her dad's in the hospital, she has to live in a town that she does not know about, will she survive? Child of the Owl by Laurence Yep is a fiction book that tells about when Casey's dad, Barney, is in the hospital and tells her she has to live in China Town with her Paw-Paw (grandma). Casey must try and fit in. Pre-teen girls and people who would want to see a glimpse of the differences between Chinese and American culture.

I would recommend Child of the Owl because it has a good plot, and I like Casey and her relationship with her Paw-Paw, because it reminds me of my grandma and I. Although I found it hard to understand at some points, I just had to re-read it. The theme of this book is dealing with adversity. Casey has to live in China Town when she is not used to living there, so she has to deal with the changes.

Child of the Owl by Laurence Yep is a great book that tells about Casey's new life in China Town and the struggles she has to face. Overall this book is a,little hard to understand but it's very interesting and worth the reading.
