Moving, honest, and deeply personal, Red Scarf Girl is
the incredible true story of one girl’s courage and
determination during one of the most terrifying eras of the
twentieth century. It's 1966, and twelve-year-old Ji-li Jiang
has everything a girl could want: brains, popularity, and a
bright future in Communist China. But it's also the year that
China's leader, Mao Ze-dong, launches the Cultural
Revolution—and Ji-li's world begins to fall apart. Over the next
few years, people who were once her friends and neighbors turn
on her and her family, forcing them to live in constant terror
of arrest. And when Ji-li's father is finally imprisoned, she
faces the most difficult dilemma of her life. Written in an
accessible and engaging style, this page-turning autobiography
will appeal to readers of all ages.
Characters: 62. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Non-Fiction.
