Red Thread Sisters

Wen has spent the first eleven years of her life at an orphanage in rural China, and the only person she would call family is her best friend, Shu Ling. When Wen is adopted by an American couple, she struggles to adjust to every part of her new life: having access to all the food and clothes she could want, going to school, being someone's daughter. But the hardest part of all is knowing that Shu Ling remains back at the orphanage, alone. Wen knows that her best friend deserves a family and a future, too. But finding a home for Shu Ling isn't easy, and time is running out . . .

This was such a sweet story about adoption and the bounds of friendship. Recommended for grades 4 through 8.

it was a nice way to show how much friends can be like sisters and it made me feel the same feelings the main character Wen did as well as her friends and family. I could relate to the book in some ways and it was a great story.

After an American family adopts eleven-year-old Wen from a Chinese orphanage, she vows to find a family for her best friend, too.
