The Missing Red Envelopes by Yobe Qiu – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.

The Missing Red Envelopes by Yobe Qiu
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Weine and Lorie are about to celebrate the lunar new year with their family, it is a big celebration where families come together to enjoy food, parades and gifts together and one of the main aspects for children are lucky red envelopes.

This year, Weine is in charge of collecting the envelopes and their safekeeping in her bag, however, when they go to get a drink before the evening feast, Weine realises that she hasn’t got them, so she and Lorie have to retrace their steps to find out where they are.

Will the two sisters be able to figure out where the envelopes were left and will they still be there? This is a lovely snapshot into the traditions and celebrations of Asian-Americans in New York City and a cozy mystery all at the same time in this wonderful story.
