A school book fair raises a question of fairness

Ly-Lan arrives at her school’s book fair with a wish list, then notices that some classmates cannot afford to buy books. The familiar excitement of choosing books and supplies opens into a question about who gets to take part. After hearing at Sunday School that God is just and fair, Ly-Lan looks for a way to make the fair more equitable for everyone, discovering that helping is harder than she expected. The second illustrated chapter book in the series brings together school life, access to books, faith, and a child’s efforts to solve a community problem.

  • Children ages 9–12 looking for an illustrated chapter book about school and problem-solving.
  • Readers interested in stories featuring a Vietnamese American family and a school book fair.

Book overview

Sometimes life is not fair! In this second book in the Ly-Lan Finds A Way chapter book series about a daughter of Vietnamese immigrants, Ly-Lan navigates the school book fair--complete with anticipation and disappointment, surprising injustices (why did prices go up?), and finding a way to thrive.

Ly-Lan couldn't be more excited for the book fair to come to her school. She's going to buy the latest book in her favorite series, The Adventures of Pizza Head, two cute posters, and some pencils with squishy tops. But when she realizes that not all kids have money to buy books at the Book Fair, she wonders if the Book Fair is actually fair. At Sunday School, Ly-Lan learns that God is always just and fair, and wonders how she can help make it fair for everyone at school. Ly-Lan wants to help but that's turning out to be much more difficult than she imagined. But if there's one thing she's good at, it's solving problems.

Ly-Lan and the Unfair Book Fair:

  • Is the second in a series of illustrated chapter books about the irrepressible Ly-Lan
  • Is written by Vietnamese American author H
