Red Scarf Girl: A Memoir of the Cultural Revolution

---

In the tradition of *The Diary of Anne Frank* and *I Am Malala*, this is the extraordinary true story of one girl's bravery and resolve during one of the most terrifying periods of the twentieth century. This edition includes a comprehensive glossary, a pronunciation guide, discussion questions, and a Q&A with the author.

It’s 1966, and twelve-year-old Ji-li Jiang seems to have everything a young girl could hope for: intelligence, popularity, and a promising future in Communist China. But that same year, China’s leader, Mao Zedong, initiates the Cultural Revolution—and Ji-li's world begins to unravel.

In the years that follow, people who were once her friends and neighbors turn against her and her family, leaving them in constant fear of arrest. When Ji-li’s father is eventually imprisoned, she faces an unimaginable moral dilemma.

Written in an engaging and accessible style, this gripping, candid, and deeply personal memoir will resonate with readers of all ages.
