Prairie Lotus by Linda Sue Park
Prairie Lotus is a powerful, touching, multilayered book about a girl determined to fit in and accomplish her dreams: get an education, become a dressmaker in her father’s shop and make at least one friend. Acclaimed, award-winning author Linda Sue Park places a young, half-Asian girl, Hanna, in a small town in America’s heartland in 1880. Hanna’s adjustment to her new surroundings, which primarily means negotiating the townspeople’s almost unanimous prejudice against Asians, is at the heart of the story. Narrated by Hanna, the novel has poignant moments yet sparkles with humor, introducing a captivating heroine whose wry, observant voice will resonate with readers.
*This book does not have a movie counterpart, but was inspired by the author's love for Little House on the Prairie.
