Love Language - Paperback

by Christine J. Ko (Author)

Cassie doesn't feel at home in her hometown in California. So when her family moves to South Korea, where her parents were born and raised, she thinks life might be easier.

But Cassie soon learns she is wrong. Despite being ethnically Korean, there is so much about her that is American-parts of her she can't erase.

From English to Korean, chocolate to ho-dduk, can Cassie find a language where she can wholly be loved?

Love Language is a middle grade novel-in-verse that will speak directly to the heart, capturing the soft, often painful part of ourselves that yearns for a place to belong.
