Title: In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson
Review: This book In The Year Of The Boar And Jackie Robinson by Bette Bao Lord is meant for children about 12 or 13 years. The story starts in China but most of it happens in Brooklyn, New York in America. The author's descriptions are so good that I can picture most of it in my mind. I think the main character Shirley seems like a real person because she has the same problems as most of us would have. The book is a story about friendship and sport. This type of book is "coming of age" (teen years). At the beginning of the book we learn about Shirley life in China but then she had to move to America and everything was new to her an d she felt lonely. Same than me, when I came to New Delhi, India, from Austria I felt very lonely, too. In the beginning she didn't have any friends. I didn't like the book because there is no adventure, it's all about a girl's life.
