Her nearest rival has cheated. Undaunted, she leaves Chinatown and walks up Nob Hill after school, determined to find more scrap newspaper. Nim’s sweet seriousness and ingenuity are captured in the text and in the luminous, grave illustrations." --The New York Times Book Review "Based on the author’s childhood memories, Nim’s story celebrates the patriotism of Asian family members in embracing their new home and country and their efforts to maintain their cultural traditions. A fine addition." -- School Library Journal </div> 740839 1997 Nim and the War Effort (Sunburst Book) total:6|5:1|4:2|3:2|2:1| 6 21 6 3 3 0 false false Fri Aug 29 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 29 12:50:02 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 29 12:53:19 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue May 01 17:53:24 -0700 2007 Tue May 01 18:21:37 -0700 2007 2 0 false false Fri Jun 27 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 23 16:38:46 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 27 19:06:48 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Mon Aug 03 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 04 07:53:56 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 04 07:54:11 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jun 17 14:32:04 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 10 09:55:02 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Mon May 19 02:38:43 -0700 2008 Mon May 19 02:38:43 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=754720
