What People Are Saying About View From Pagoda Hill
“A movingly empathetic tale for readers about prejudice and the pressure to fit in…”
School Library Journal (starred review)
“The View from Pagoda Hill is incredible and beautifully crafted. The characters, both in Shanghai and America, are wonderfully drawn; they come alive. You have to love Ning/Neenah because Michaela MacColl has given her such a personality. It is a lovely book that brought tears to my eyes.”
