In "The Great Wall of Lucy Wu" by Wendy Wan-Long Shang, Lucy Wu, a seventh-grader, faces a challenging year as she navigates the complexities of middle school, family expectations, and cultural identity. Excited about her first family home, her plans are disrupted when an unexpected guest arrives: her sassy and strong-willed Chinese aunt. As Lucy grapples with her feelings of being overshadowed and her desire to build her own "great wall," she learns the importance of family, understanding her heritage, and embracing who she truly is. Through heartfelt moments, humor, and growth, Lucy discovers that family can be both a challenge and a source of strength. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
