This book is really good, it’s about a Chinese girl that tries to get used to her grandmothers sister, she has to go to a Chinese school and she doesn’t want to go. what will happen? Will she over come some bullies?
I thought it was kind of funny that when Lucy realized the sides weren’t even, and she changed them, Po changed them back.
I like it how Lucy made a wall of her furniture in her room to separate her and Po.
I truly enjoyed this book because I found it to be very inspiring. The only thing that I would change about this book is taking away the bully, because most stories these days involve bullies.
Do you think there are more bullies in books than in real life? Why do you think the author included a bully in this one? — Kate Davie
I loved this book because I made a connection to Lucy
Can you tell us what that connection was? — Kate Davie
I liked the great wall of lucy wu because lucy thinks she is poing to have a bad summer but she doesn’t. It turns out well this book was interesting but very long.
I am on the second chapter and I think this would be my favorite out of all the DCF books because Lucy is just like me.
Are you basketball player too? Or is there something else about Lucy that is like you? — Kate Davie
I didn’t continue this book after the first chapter. I didn’t think it was a bad book, it was just a little slow and wasn’t really catchy. I think people who like to learn about different cultures, like the chinese culture, would realy enjoy this book even though I barly read any of it.
This book was among the best books I’ve ever read. I love the fact that it includes some real history about the war in china, and at the same time tells a story about a sixth grader who is a normal person but has had some special events happen.
I’m not done with this book yet. it is the best book in the world . i cant put it down at all . I got this book at a book fair at my school.
I don’t know it jest is really good.
I LOVED IT![Extra punctuation deleted.]

I am more than willing to believe you, but can you tell me why? — Kate Davie
this book is really good,
the best book ever!!!!!
Its the sort of book you could read in a day(if you read it really fast)
Does this mean you will be voting for it in April? — Kate Davie
Dear Daniel, I was also suprised by how much I liked this book.
Dear Abenaki, I also agree that it is the best book ever and I still love it.
I’d recomend this book to people who likes to read long chapter books and set goals for themselves.
At first I thought it was boring because it had no pictures,but then I read a couple more pages and I liked it so much it was like I fell in to a trap and couldn’t get out.
When I saw this book on the computer I thought it was a children’s book.
Hence the old saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” — Kate Davie
I thought this book would be bogus but I really liked it. I do love basketball a lot and Lucy was very brave to stand up for herself.
BEST BOOK EVER![Extra punctuation deleted.] ABSOLUTLY LOVED IT. Anyone who likes reading i think willl like it. It was about a chinese girl who has a great aunt who comes to america to visit. Hope you read it. BEST BOOK EVER! [Extra punctuation deleted. -- Kate Davie]
