Future Author Extraordinaire (Cilla Lee Jenkins #01)
ISBN-13: 9781250144003
Cilla Lee-Jenkins is 50\% Chinese, 50\% Caucasian, and 100\% destined for literary greatness! In this middle grade novel, she shares stories about a new sibling, being biracial, and her destiny as a future author extraordinaire.
Priscilla "Cilla" Lee-Jenkins is on a tight deadline. Her baby sister is about to be born, and Cilla needs to become a bestselling author before her family forgets all about her. So she writes about what she knows best -- herself! And Cilla has a lot to write about: How did she deal with being bald until the age of five? How did she overcome her struggles with reading? How do family traditions with Grandma and Granpa Jenkins differ from family traditions with her Chinese grandparents, Nai Nai and Ye Ye?
Written by Susan Tan and illustrated by Dana Wolfekotte, CILLA LEE-JENKINS: FUTURE AUTHOR EXTRAORDINAIRE is a novel bursting with love and humor, as told through a bright, irresistible biracial protagonist who will win your heart and make you laugh.
"Heartwarming and poignant! Meeting Cilla felt like making a new best friend." --Grace Lin, best-selling author of Newbery Honor book WHERE THE MOUNTAIN MEETS THE MOON and National Book Award finalist WHEN THE SEA TURNED TO SILVER
