They have escaped the new communist regime that has taken over Ho Chi Minh City for freedom in the West. Four-year-old Van is too young--and her grandmother is too old--for such a dangerous journey by boat, so the two have been left behind. Once settled in North America, her parents will eventually be able to sponsor them, and Van and her grandmother will fly away to safety. But in the meantime, Van is forced to work hard to satisfy her aunt and uncle, who treat her like an unwelcome servant. And at school she must learn that calling attention to herself is a mistake, especially when the bully who has been tormenting her turns out to be the son of a military policeman."--Amazon.com. 586 $a A Junior Library Guild selection 600 10 $a Ho, Van, $d 1977- $x Childhood and youth $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $x Children $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Refugee children $z Vietnam $v Juvenile literature. 700 1 $a Skrypuch, Marsha Forchuk, $e author. 941 $a 5 952 $l HQPD845 $d 20240516014243.0 952 $l ULAX314 $d 20190926100552.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20190620010707.0 952 $l FJPC224 $d 20190618015334.0 952 $l UUAX975 $d 20190219010121.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0FA7D1C6341411E98D06706F97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
