But their new life doesn't quite live up to their expectations - living in a vermin-ridden apartment in Brooklyn, the pair have only an intermittently working oven to keep them warm. They have nothing but debt and neither of them speak a word of English. While her mother works to earn two cents a garment at a sweatshop, intellectually gifted eleven-year-old Kim faces a new and trying challenge: school. Exiled by language, estranged in a new culture and weighed down by staggering poverty, Kim must learn to translate not just her language but who she is, as she straddles these two very different worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jean Kwok","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52368178250010,"sku":"9781444807240","price":133.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2699\/9322\/files\/61KfdQz4LWL._SY522.jpg?v=1781737941","url":"https:\/\/medicampus.store\/products\/girl-in-translation","provider":"medicampus.store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
