Speak enters the world of Gossip Girl in this modern immigrant story by New York Times bestselling author Kelly Yang about two girls who navigate wealth, power, friendship and trauma.
They are called a parachute: teenagers stop living in private homes and study in the United States while their wealthy parents live in Asia. Claire Wang never expected to be one of them, until her parents picked her up from a special life in Shanghai and enrolled in a high school in California. Suddenly, she finds herself living in a stranger’s house, not telling him what to do for the first time in her life. He quickly embraced his newly discovered freedom, especially when Jay’s hottest and most deserved parachute invited him out.
Dani De La Cruz, Claires’ new adoptive sister, was not very happy because her mother rented a room for Claire. As the star of the academic and debate team, Dani is determined to gain access to Yale, though that means competing with special kids who buy their way to the top. When his debate coach started working with him personally, Danis’s game plan suddenly changed.
Desperate to avoid each other under the same roof, Dani and Claire find themselves on a collision course, interacting in a deeper and more complex way, as they struggle with life-changing experiences. Award-winning author Kelly Yang compiles modern immigrant stories about love, trauma, family, corruption, and the power of speech.
