Andrea Cheng crée des récits qui explorent les thèmes de la famille, de l'identité et du patrimoine culturel, s'inspirant souvent de son éducation au sein d'un foyer élargi et multilingue. Son approche littéraire se caractérise par la chaleur et la douceur, mêlant des éléments de multiculturalisme et de diversité linguistique à ses histoires. Tant par son écriture que par ses illustrations, elle crée un sentiment de profondeur et de compréhension qui résonne auprès des jeunes lecteurs et de leurs familles. Le travail de Cheng reflète une profonde appréciation pour la narration et le partage intergénérationnel d'expériences.

Scholastic Trade Paperback, copyright 2004 with 154 pgs. "I would be an explorer, a scientist, a writer. Did Andras really think that a man named Hitler in Germany would stop me?" In 1944, the Nazie invade Hungary, and Marika's family is forced into hiding. As her world shatters around her, the concerns of Marika's childhood suddenly seem very small and far away. Unspeakable acts of anti-Semitism are everywhere. Now Marika will need to call upon her sharp intelligence and an unexpected core of strength and courage-to keep herself and her family alive.
