About this product
Product Information
A Newbery Honor book Jean Fritz's award-winning account of her life in China, and to honor this story, it is only fitting that it be added to our prestigious line of Puffin Modern Classics. This fictionalized autobiography tells the heartwarming story of a little girl growing up in an unfamiliar place. While other girls her age were enjoying their childhood in America, Jean Fritz was in China in the midst of political unrest. Jean Fritz tells her captivating story of the difficulties of living in a unfamiliar country at such a difficult time. * "A remarkable blend of truth and storytelling." -- Booklist , starred review * "An insightful memory's-eye-view of her childhood . . . Young Jean is a strong character, and many of her reactions to people and events are timeless and universal." -- School Library Journal , starred review "Told with an abundance of humor--sometimes wry, sometimes mischievous and irreverent--the story is vibrant with atmosphere, personalities, and a palpable sense of place." -- The Horn Book "Every now and then a book comes along that makes me want to send a valentine to its author. Homesick is such a book . . . Pungent and delicious." --Katherine Paterson, The Washington Post

Reviews
"Told with an abundance of humor--sometimes wry, sometimes mischievous and irreverent--the story is vibrant with atmosphere, personalities, and a palpable sense of place." -- Horn Book "Fritz draws the readers into scenes from her youth in the turbulent China of the mid-twenties. One comes to appreciate the generous affection of her nurse/companion Lin Nai-Nai, the isolating distance in her mother's grief over losing a second child, the dynamics of a suffering population venting its hostility on foreigners, and most of all, the loneliness of a child's exile from a homeland she has imagined constantly but never seen. . . A remarkable blend of truth and storytelling." -- Booklist , starred review "An insightful memory's-eye-view of her childhood . . . portrayed in an unfolding of events, many of which are extremely touching. . . Young Jean is a strong character, and many of her reactions to people and events are timeless and universal." -- School Library Journal , starred review "It is a rare writer who can capture the intense feelings and bittersweet flavor of childhood as honestly and convincingly as Jean Fritz does." -- The New Yorker "Every now and then a book comes along that makes me want to send a valentine to its author. Homesick is such a book. . . Pungent and delicious." --Katherine Patterson, The Washington Post "Fritz's Newbery Honor-winning memoir of growing up during a turbulent time in China's history is 'rich in the telling observations of sights, sounds and people.'" -- Publishers Weekly A Newbery Honor Book An American Book Award Winner Christopher Award Winner Winner of the Child Study Children's Book Committee (Bank Street College) Children's Book Award An IRA Teachers' Choice An NCTE Teachers' Choice A Boston Globe - Horn Book Honor Book A School Library Journal Best Book of the Year A New York Times Outstanding Book of the Year New York Public Library's 100 Titles for Reading and Sharing New York Public Library Books for the Teen Age A Booklist Editors' Choice A Booklist Best of the 1980s

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
