Stacy has never thought much about being Chinese-American until a new classmate arrives from China and challenges her attitudes. But when Stacy feels she must defend Hong Ch'un against false theft charges, her American friends accuse her of blind loyalty to another culture. Stacy, the daughter of Casey, the main character in Yep's award-winning Child of the Owl, discovers her true heritage in Chinatown when she tries to find Hong Ch'un who has run away. This page-turning mystery will appeal to readers from 10 to 13 years.
