THE YEAR OF THE DOG by Grace Lin

Pacy Lin is the only Chinese girl in her class. Until Melody moves in and they become best friends.In the school year she gets $400  in a book contest! When Pacy tries out to be Dorthy in The Wizard of Oz, she instead tries out to be a munchkin. How embarrassing ! A Chinese munchkin? But the play turned out to be a success . But in the summer, when she went to Taiwanese camp  a mean girl called her "Twinke" , because she couldn't  speak Chinese or Taiwanese. Will the bullying ever stop? And will her summer ever get better?.

My favorite part was when Pacy won 4th place in the book contest and got $400.

I would recommend this book to girls who are ages 8-11
