Why read it?
1 author picked Maizy Chen's Last Chance as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
When Maizy visits her grandparents in the small town of Last Chance, Minnesota, she's given the opportunity to explore her cultural heritage with her grandparents. My favourite sections were when Maizy’s grandpa tells her stories about Lucky, her great-grandfather. Through these stories, we get a window into the past. I also enjoyed Maizy writing her own fortunes to insert into cookies for the customers at her grandparents' restaurant!
