Hi guys! I have this book in mind. I've first read it around 4-6 years ago. The plot is about a Chinese girl who has migrated to the US with her mother. She studies at a good school under a scholarship but has to work part time in a clothing factory. This novel is a YA book. If I remember correctly the title of the novel was something like " ..... In Translation". But please don't be limited to this clue, I might be wrong. Thank you!

Francesca, is Renske's suggestion your book? Please let us know!

Renske's suggestion looks promising of Girl in Translation by Jean Kwok looks promising.

One reviewer on Amazon says, "Attending an elite private school on full scholarship while working in a sweatshop and living in unmitigated squalor, Kimberly exists in two parallel worlds, and becomes a keen observer of both..."

Lost in Translation this has the China theme too

No response from Francesca but Renske's suggestion sounds like the right book. Moving to Solved.
