Mai is a typical California middle school student. She is only interested in her summer vacation spent at the beach with her friend and trying to her her crush to notice her. But that is not how Mai will be spending her summer, she is going to Vietnam. Her grandmother wants to find out what happened to her husband during the Vietnam War. Mai's summer is ruined or is it?


I thought that the writing itself was good but I just wasn't drawn into the story.
