Diane Ma’s Heiress Apparently is a delightful first book in a series that I know my students won’t want to put down. I craved hearing more from Gemma, our entertaining, self-assured protagonist as she navigates her burgeoning acting career, revelations of her identity, and discovering her voice. I know that my students would connect to the realistic portrayals of Gemma’s friends, relatives, and acquaintances. I look forward to adding Heiress Apparently to my classroom bookshelf and the inevitable fight to who can check it out next.
