Happy New Year, Julie

This story continues to deal with the issue of the divorce of Julie's parents, and how the two sisters relate, or don't relate, to their father. A lot of the story revolves around Julie's friend Ivy, and their family, which is Chinese. There's a lot of very interesting information about the traditions that the Chinese and Chinese-Americans follow in celebrating the Chinese New Year.

The information on the Chinese celebrations is really the high point of the story. The information section at the end contains material on holiday celebrations during the 1970's, and information on the celebrations and parades for Chinese New Year.

Probably the most interesting of the first three books in this new series.
