![]() By page 100 I really didn’t care and had to force myself to keep reading. The problem was I couldn’t connect with the character. As a farm worker Shaozhen soon realises that without rain the harvest will be ruined and without rain, and the wells and rivers all dry, it will become a fight for survival.Īt first I actually liked the character of Shaozhen – he was a kid that most readers could connect with on some level whether it be their hopes, dreams, or lack of enthusiasm for school. This will leave Shaozhen in the care of his grandmother who feels he has been spoiled and indulged and she’s determined that he will work…and work hard. The holidays he planned however soon change when his mother announces that she is leaving the following day to take a job in the city with her husband. Shaozhen is not the most studious of teenagers and thus when school finishes he can think of nothing better than no books for the duration of the holidays. ![]() This is an excerpt of a review was originally published on my website: Miss Jenny's Classroom ![]()
