"I can't wait for readers to explore Hong Kong with Holly-Mei. I have no doubt they will love both as much as I did." -Erin Entrada Kelly, 2018 Newbery Medalist and 2021 Newbery Honoree on The Not-So-Uniform Life of Holly-Mei Return to Hong Kong in the second book of this charming middle grade series starring Holly-Mei, a girl navigating her new city, new school, and new friendships. It's the start of a new year, and Holly-Mei Jones is determined to make the most of it. She has amazing friends, a great field hockey team, and Hong Kong at her doorstep. This semester is going to be perfect . . . right? Maybe not. Despite their closeness last year, Holly-Mei's friend group seems to be splintering. Desperate to bring everyone together, she ropes her friends into competing as a team in an inter-school tournament across the city. But as Holly-Mei becomes obsessed with winning, her friends seem less interested in the tournament-and in her new attitude. Will she be able to pull off her perfect plan? Praise for The Not-So-Uniform Life of Holly-Mei "Unique and universal all at once." -Kate Messner, author of Breakout and Chirp "A charming, truthful, and heartfelt middle grade debut." -Katie Zhao, author of The Dragon Warrior series and Last Gamer Standing "From the very first line, I felt as if Holly-Mei was taking me by the hand and pulling me into her story."
