This absorbing and exciting adventure story is framed by both the author's real-life story and the reality of World War II in Shanghai. Chinese Cinderella has left the home of her cruel stepmother and must seek her own destiny. She meets up with a group of orphans who live with Grandma Wu.
During her lonely childhood in Shanghai, Adeline Yen Mah wrote adventure stories to escape from her terrible step-mother and cruel siblings. The characters she created often became more real to her than her own family. In Chinese Cinderella and the Secret Dragon Society, Adeline tells the story of Chinese Cinderella, a young girl who, after being thrown out of her home, has no choice but to go out and seek her own destiny.
