Thanks to Netgalley and Amulet for the advance Kindle copy of this book. It’s out tomorrow! All opinions are my own.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5. I loved this one. Aspiring actress Gemma gets her big break - a role in a film, co-directed by her idol. The only catch? It is filming in Beijing, the one place her mother has expressly forbidden her from traveling. Gemma, curious about her parents’ home country and dying to accept the role, takes off anyway. There she finds that she is a dead ringer for a famous Beijing socialite, and has a family (and secrets) she never knew existed. Recommended for grades 8+.
