This month we will be reading The Phoenix Pencil Company by Allison King .

Monica Tsai grew up listening to her grandmother Yun's stories of Shanghai and the Phoenix Pencil Company, the family business she was forced to leave behind. When Monica discovers a hidden family secret, she begins uncovering Yun's past and the extraordinary history behind the pencils that connect them. Moving between present-day America and wartime Shanghai, The Phoenix Pencil Company is a story of family, memory, love, and the ways our stories—and the people we've lost—can endure across generations.
