Hello! I’m Michael, Teen vlogger for Sno-Isle Libraries.
Today I am going to be talking about one of my favorite
Books of all time Chinese Cinderella
This book is the autobiography of a young chinese girl
Adeline Yen Mah Born the fifth child to a wealthy Chinese
family Her life begins tragically
Adeline’s mother died shortly after her birth
Due to complications brought on by the delivery Marking her as cursed or “bad luck” by
her siblings This situation is compounded by her father’s
new marriage To a young french-asian woman
Who has little affection for her husband’s five children
She proves to be difficult and distant towards all of the children
Particularly Adeline While favoring her own younger son and daughter
born shortly After the marriage
Denied love from her parents She finds some solace in relationships with
her grandfather Ye Ye And her Aunt Baba
Sympathetic-yet-weakened adult figures Adeline immerses herself in striving for academic
achievement In hope of winning favor from her father
It has a sad but fun story that really makes you think
After each and every chapter So go ahead and check out Chinese Cinderella
