ONE GOOD THING ABOUT AMERICA
Book ID/图书代码： 06430017C00025
English Summary/英文概要： It’s hard to start at a new school . . . especially if you’re in a new country. Back home, Anais was the best English student in her class. Here in Crazy America she feels like she doesn’t know English at all. Nothing makes sense (chicken FINGERS?), and the kids at school have some very strange ideas about Africa. Anais misses her family - Papa and grandmother Oma and big brother Olivier because here in Crazy America there’s only little Jean-Claude and Mama. So she writes letters to Oma - lots of them. She tells her she misses her and hopes the fighting is over soon. She tells her about Halloween, snow, mac n cheese dinners, and princess sleepovers. She tells her about the weird things Crazy Americans do, and how she just might be turning into a Crazy American herself. One Good Thing About America is a sweet, often funny middle-grade novel that explores differences and common ground across cultures. It arrives amidst the prevailing climate of fear and doubt in America. This story of a refugee child restores hope and reminds us that America is, in fact, a nation of immigrants where we must accept our differences in order to survive and that s one very good thing.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 适应一所新学校开始学习很难……特别是如果你在一个新的国家。回到家里，阿娜是班上最好的英语学生。在疯狂的美国，她觉得自己根本不懂英语。什么都说不通(鸡手指?)，学校里的孩子们对非洲有一些非常奇怪的想法。阿娜想念她的家人——爸爸、奶奶奥玛和哥哥奥利维尔，因为在疯狂的美国，只有小让-克劳德和妈妈。所以她给很多人写信。她告诉她她想念她，希望战斗很快结束。她告诉她关于万圣节，雪，麦克，奶酪晚餐，和公主过夜。她告诉她疯狂的美国人做的奇怪的事情，以及她自己是如何变成一个疯狂的美国人的。美国的一件好事是一种甜蜜的、经常有趣的中档小说，它探索不同文化之间的差异和共同点。它出现在美国普遍存在的恐惧和怀疑气氛中。这个难民儿童的故事唤起了我们的希望，并提醒我们，美国实际上是一个移民国家，我们必须接受我们的差异，才能生存下去，这是一件非常好的事情。（WYL）
