Series:  American Girl
Author:  Dori Jones Yang
Reviewer:   Stephanie A. '08

When timid Gina Zhang discovered that she was moving from China to America, she decided to be the new, brave Gina and learn English quickly. If only her throat would do the same. Having been the highest student in her class in China she was incredibly smart. One foot in to the classroom Gina could not make a single sound.

Priscilla was the only girl able to read and listen to Gina by watching, and was the only person in the school that didn't force Gina to speak. Gina discovered that she was learning more English from listening to Priscilla than from her teachers. Can Gina let Priscilla in on the biggest secret of all?
