Half and Half (Hardcover, Library binding)

Fiona Cheng is half and half: her father is Chinese and her mother is Scottish. But her features aren’t so neatly divided. Fiona looks more like her father than her mother, so people always expect her to be more interested in her Chinese half than her Scottish half. Lately even Fiona’s confused about who she really is. When her grandparents on both sides of the family come to town for a folk festival, the situation gets even worse. Fiona wants to dance with her Scottish grandfather’s folk dancing troupe. But whoever saw a Chinese girl dancing the Highland Reel? Fiona starts thinking of ways to make herself look more Scottish. But she doesn’t want her family to think she’s trying to hide her Chinese half. Everyone seems to expect different things from her. So maybe doing something totally unexpected is the only answer.
