Named one of New York Public Library''s & Bank Street''s Best Books of the Year!
The Farewell meets Erin Entrada Kelly''s Blackbird Fly in this empowering middle grade memoir from debut author Waka T. Brown, who takes readers on a journey to 1980s Japan, where she was sent as a child to reconnect to her familys roots.
When twelve-year-old Wakas parents suspect she cant understand the basic Japanese they speak to her, they make a drastic decision to send her to Tokyo to live for several months with her strict grandmother. Forced to say goodbye to her friends and what would have been her summer vacation, Waka is plucked from her straight-A-student life in rural Kansas and flown across the globe, where she faces the culture shock of a lifetime.
In Japan, Waka struggles with reading and writing in kanji, doesnt quite mesh with her complicated and distant Obaasama, and gets made fun of by the students in her Japanese public-school classes. Even though this is the country her parents came from, Waka has never felt more like an outsider.
If shes always been the smart Japanese girl in America but is now the dumb foreigner in Japan, where is home...and who will Waka be when she finds it?
