Ling is an average sort of kid: cheerful, kind, brave when she needs to be, good at writing stories, but––no matter how hard she tries––hopeless at math! In their last year of elementary school, Ling and her friends get ready for their middle school entrance exam, and the pressure piles on. I want to be good is full of heart and humor. We share Ling’s adventures and misadventures, enjoy her small triumphs, and despair with her over her math scores. Then, just before the exams, something really special happens to Ling, something she is determined to keep a close secret
Picked as a “Top Children's Book in Translation” by the International Committee of Children's Literature Association (ChLA), Huang Beija’s I Want To Be Good was an instant classic and huge bestseller in China selling over 5 million copies since publication in 1996.
The novel is about ten-year-old Ling who is under constant pressure to do better, and pass the all-important school exams. Helen Wang writing in ChLA international committee says: “Ling just wants to be herself, to be happy, and for everyone around her to be happy. While her mother and others worry whether she’ll be good enough, Ling simply gets on with enjoying life. Ling is genuinely interested in people and the world around her. I Want To Be Good is about being happy being yourself.”
