I am reviewing a copy of The Not So Uniform Life of Holly-Mei through Inkyard Press and Netgalley:

Holly Mei-Jones is excited that they will be moving to Hong Kong for her Mother’s job. She will be attending a school right on the beach and her families new apartment is beautiful. Everything should be perfect right?

But not everything is perfect, it feels like everywhere she goes there are new rules to follow and expectations to meet. On top of that, the most popular girl in her grade is quickly becoming a frenemy. And without the guidance of her loving Ah-ma, who stayed behind in Toronto, Holly-Mei just can’t seem to get it right.

It’s going to take all of Holly Mei’s determination as well as her sparkle and probably even a tiny bit of stubbornness) to get through seventh grade and turn her life in Hong Kong into the ultimate adventure!

I give The Not So Uniform Life and Holly Mei, five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
