Paper Daughter, about news media, immigrants to the Pacific Northwest, and a talented girl learning who she is, by Jeanette IngoldTeen fiction . . . adventure . . . 
new worlds to explore!

Maggie Chen was born with ink in her blood.  Her journalist father has fired her imagination with the thrill of the newsroom. But now Maggie's father has been killed, and she is determined to keep their dreams alive by interning at the local newspaper.

The first story that Maggie works on, though, causes suspicion of illegal activity to fall on her father, and she knows she must clear his name.  Thrust into Seattle's Chinatown, what she finds is far from what she expected: secrets, lies, and a connection to the Chinese Exclusion Era, and an immigration underground of paper sons and paper daughters.  Using all of her journalist instincts and resources means Maggie must confront her ethnicity--and a family she never knew.

Look for PAPER DAUGHTER, Jeanette's new novel for teens, coming Spring 2010 from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.
