Books like The great wall of Lucy Wu by Wendy Wan Long Shang


Lucy's life is on the cusp of change: as an eleven‑year‑old, she balances her love of basketball with a budding passion for interior design and a desire for a private bedroom. When her great‑aunt announces a visit, the family’s living arrangements are suddenly altered. Lucy's excitement turns to anxiety as she realizes she will have to share her room for several months. This unexpected co‑habitation interrupts her hopes for a smooth school year and forces her to confront new challenges of sharing space, adapting to different habits, and redefining independence. Throughout the story, Lucy’s friendship with her classmates, her relationship with her family, and her drive to establish her own identity are all tested, offering a relatable glimpse into the everyday hurdles of adolescence and familial bonds.
