The year is 1940 and Lillia is fifteen when her mother, Alenka, disappears and her father flees with Lillia and her younger sister, Naomi, to Shanghai, one of the few places that will welcome them. There they\u003cbr\u003estruggle to make a life; they have no money, there is little work, no decent place to live, a culture that doesn't understand them. And always the worry about Alenka. How will she find them? Is she still alive? \u003cbr\u003e Meanwhile Lillia is growing up, trying to care for Naomi, whose development is frighteningly slow from malnourishment. She attends school sporadically, makes friends with Wei, a Chinese boy, and finds work as a performer at a \"gentlemen's club\" without her father's knowledge. As the conflict grows more intense, the Americans declare war and the Japanese force the Americans in Shanghai into camps. More bombing, more death. Can Lillia and her family survive, caught in the crossfire?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/21\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780147508911\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.40w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Sydney Taylor Book Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e505306 \/ Someday We Will Fly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.6 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 14\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Rachel DeWoskin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36634957119644,"sku":"9780147508911","price":10.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_a1b172d5-a4cf-4ea6-84b4-d9123821daa7.jpg?v=1603838131","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/someday-we-will-fly-9780147508911","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
