The Not-So-Simple Question

"I can't wait for readers to explore Hong Kong with Holly-Mei. I have no doubt they will love both as much as I did." -Erin Entrada Kelly, 2018 Newbery Medalist and 2021 Newbery Honoree on The Not-So-Uniform Life of Holly-Mei

Return to Hong Kong in the third book of this charming middle grade series starring Holly-Mei, a girl navigating her new city, new school, and new friendships.

Holly-Mei is caught in the middle.

Holly-Mei Jones has finally settled into her new friend group in Hong Kong-that is until suddenly everyone starts talking about dating. Which Holly-Mei is not ready for.

At least she has her school's Experience Week to look forward to. Holly-Mei can't wait to show off Taiwan, where her beloved Ah-Ma is from, to her friends. The trip is going to be perfect… right?

Maybe not. On top of the pressure to date, Holly-Mei starts to wonder if maybe being half-Taiwanese isn't enough. In the face of these big questions, will Holly-Mei be able to finally feel like she belongs?
