Chinese Cinderella  by Adeline Yen May

In this true story, The Chinese Cinderella follows the story of Adeline, a girl who becomes bad luck after her mother dies during her childbirth.  She works hard at being good at school even though she is unwanted by her own family.  When her stepmother takes over, the times just get worse for her, but she still tries her best at school.

The book really talks to kids about what it's like to be an unwanted child, but still do their best at at school.  It teaches lessons about the kids with bad luck and also tells you that you can still make good choices and be a success even if bad things are happening to you.  I think you should read this book.  This book got me thinkig about being thankful for the parent that really loves their child.
