The Secret Battle of Evan Pao by Wendy Wan-Long Shang
Evan, his sister and his mother are all traveling across the country to run away from something that Evan's dad did. Something that the people back home are super upset about, and so are Evan and his family. But the new place they move to, isn't exactly like their old place. Here, Evan is the only Chinese American in his school and he is just trying to get along with everyone. Unfortunately, there is one boy at his school who seemed determined to make a big deal about Evan, and not in a good way. Sometimes though, it takes getting to really know a person before you know what is a big deal and what isn't.
Recommended for grades 6 and up.
