Another beautiful book by Jack Cheng.” —Erin Entrada Kelly Newbery Award-winning author of
Hello Universe Creative and brave sixth grader Andy Zhou faces big changes at school and at
home in this new novel by the award-winning author of See You in the Cosmos for fans of When
You Trap a Tiger and The Stars Beneath Our Feet Andy Zhou is used to being what people need him
to be: the good kid for his parents and now his grandparents in from Shanghai or the helpful
sidekick for his best friend Cindy’s plans and schemes. So when Cindy decides they should try
out for Movement on the first day of sixth grade how can Andy say no? But between feeling out
of place with the dancers after school being hassled by his new science partner Jameel in
class and sensing tension between his dad and grandfather at home Andy feels all kinds of
weird. Then over anime Hi-Chews and art things start to shift between Andy and Jameel
opening up new doors—and new problems. Because no matter how much Andy cares about his friends
and family it’s hard not to feel pulled between all the ways he’s meant to be all the
different faces he wears and harder still to figure out if any of these masks is the real him.
