"The little girl I was would have been thrilled to encounter Meilan...
She spent her childhood in Ohio and Boston and now lives in Colorado with her family..
Andrea likes to write about family, food, and culture.
She\'d much rather be a rock than smelly.
That sparked her lifelong interest in names and identity.
The first character in Andrea\'s Chinese name is an archaic one that means fragrant, but her parents\' friends all thought it was the character for jade, which sounds exactly the same.
The Many Meanings of Meilan is her debut middle-grade novel.
About author(s): Andrea Wang is the award-winning author of the picture books The Nian Monster (Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature Honor), Magic Ramen (Freeman Book Award Honor), and Watercress .
The Many Meanings of Meilan , written in stunning prose by Andrea Wang , is an exploration of all the things it\'s possible to grieve, the injustices large and small that make us rage, and the peace that\'s unlocked when we learn to find home within ourselves.
Meilan keeps her facets separate until an injustice at school shows her the power of bringing her Many selves together.
Sometimes she is Mist, cooling and invisible; other times, she\'s Basket, carrying her parents\' hopes and dreams and her guilt of not living up to them; and occasionally she is bright Blue, the way she feels around her new friend Logan.
She decides she is Many Meilans, each inspired by a different Chinese character with the same pronunciation as her name.

They take a winding path across the country before landing in Redbud, Ohio.
After Nai Nai passes, the family has a falling-out that sends Meilan, her parents, and her grieving grandfather on the road in search of a new home.
Meilan Hua\'s world is made up of a few key ingredients: her family\'s beloved matriarch, Nai Nai; the bakery her parents, aunts, and uncles own and run in Boston\'s Chinatown; and her favorite Chinese fairy tales. having found a character who embraces the complexity of being both Chinese and American, I would have been able to echo her words: \'I am not alone.\'" -- New York Times Book Review by Jean Kwok A family feud before the start of seventh grade propels Meilan from Boston\'s Chinatown to rural Ohio, where she must tap into her inner strength and sense of justice to make a new place for herself in this resonant debut.
