Summary:
Grieving the death of her mother and an outcast at school, thirteen-year-old Mei finds solace in cooking and computer games. When her friend's grandmother falls ill, Mei seeks out her father, a doctor, for help, and discovers the hospital is overcrowded. As the virus spreads, Mei finds herself alone in a locked-down city trying to find a way to help. Ying Chang Compestine draws on her own experiences growing up in Wuhan to capture not only the uncertainty and panic of when the COVID virus first emerged in Wuhan, but also how a community banded together.
