This book was so good! It is summer and Pacy is going with her family to visit Taiwan for the summer. Pacy isn't quite thrilled, but she knows she has to go. They're celebrating her grandmother's 60th birthday! To keep her occupied, Pacy's parents sign her up for a painting class, her sister a lettering class, and her younger sister a paper cutting class. Except...the class for her isn't going to well. She can't seem to do any of it right. Pacy makes all sorts of memories and experiences on this vacation. One of her favorite are eating dumplings! Who doesn't like dumplings? This book was magnificent and I liked it so much because the author visited my school! Happy reading! I rate this book 5/5.

There was no day that dumplings couldn't make better.
Pacy is back! The beloved heroine of The Year of the Dog and The Year of the Rat has returned in a brand new story. This summer, Pacy's family is going to Taiwan for an entire month to visit family and prepare for their grandmother's 60th birthday celebration. Pacy's parents have signed her up for a Chinese painting class, and at first she's excited. This is a new way to explore her art talent! But everything about the trip is harder than she thought it would be--she looks like everyone else but can't speak the language, she has trouble following the art teacher's instructions, and it's difficult to make friends in her class. At least the dumplings are delicious...
As the month passes by, Pacy eats chicken feet (by accident!), gets blessed by a fortune teller, searches for her true identity, and grows closer to those who matter most.

I loved this book.
I love the food in this book! My especial favorite is xiaolongbao, which I had in Taiwan.
awesome awesome awesome awesome [3 hours later} awesome awesome awesom
Dumpling Days was wonderful, heartwarming, and best of all, mouthwatering. I have read all Grace Lin's previous books, and she never has lost her touch in a single one of them to make my mouth drool and stomach growl. I also love her short stories inside the actual story. This was a perfect book that you will sympathize with and smile with.
I like this book
