From Amazon:
Olivia Yee is only five years old when Kwan, her older sister from China, comes to live with the family and turns her life upside down, bombarding her day and night with ghostly stories of strange ancestors from the world of Yin.
Olivia just wants to lead a normal American life. For the next thirty years, Olivia endures visits from Kwan and her ghosts, who appear in the living world to offer advice on everything from restaurants to Olivia's failed marriage. But just when she cannot bear it any more, the revelations of a tragic family secret finally open her mind to the startling truths hidden in Kwan's unorthodox vision of the world.

i cannot decide whether this book has a sad or happy ending... i guess it depends on how you'll see it. In some parts of it though, i felt jealous of the love and affection Kwan had over Libby-ah. I wish i had one such sister!!!

So just where did this book end up? So very long ago it was sent on a bookring journey and then it just disappeared. The Lost Book Island is here to give books just like this a nice place to rest and relax in hopes that they will someday get the chance to move again. It is hoped that this little book will one day get a new journal entry that will help to clear up the mystery of where it has been and if it will get the chance to travel more in the future.
