Little chinese seamstress- Parker Mortensen

im about forty pages in and so far it is a book about two kids who are in the chinese reeducation program where they got to the mountains and are toughtbut the people who live there. they meet a lil girl that they call the seamstress and they are kinda friends. one of the kids is sick with malaria and it is not looking good from his position so far. good book though.
