Publisher's Note A Chinese-American schoolgirl, Nim proves to all her classmates that she can be true to both her country and her heritage when she collects the most papers for a war-effort paper drive during World War II. Industry reviews "What separates this story from simple nostalgia is Lee's close recollection of details--the scarcity of newspaper during the war years, or the flag pin worn by Chinese-Americans (so they would not be identified as 'the enemy'--the Japanese). All these details place the affecting story in a real, not idealized, America."
