The Star Fisher

Author(s): Laurence Yep

Location(s): West Virginia

Genre(s): Fiction, Historical

Era(s): 1927

“This poignant, gently humorous novel is about prejudice and acceptance….15-year-old Joan Lee is a child of two worlds. As a Chinese American, she has never felt her separateness more than now, in 1927, in this new place in West Virginia. Only Miss Lucy, their landlord and neighbor, seems welcoming….There’s nothing coy about Yep’s portrait of prejudice, which he sketches from several angles.”–Booklist. “A pleasure to read, entertaining its audience even as it educates their hearts.”–Horn Book.
