In "Maizy Chen's Last Chance" by Lisa Yee, eleven-year-old Maizy Chen is sent to her grandmother’s Chinese restaurant in a small town while her mother is away. As Maizy grapples with feelings of displacement and the challenges of fitting in, she discovers the rich history of her family and the restaurant, including the intriguing stories of past patrons. Through her journey, Maizy learns about resilience, identity, and the importance of community. The narrative weaves together elements of culture, family, and friendship, ultimately revealing how connections to one’s roots can provide strength and understanding in challenging times.
