When Book Five came out, and there was a lockdown in the beginning of it…and the whole world was under lockdown…I thought it was amusing that the book was topical. People who wanted to get out of their houses would sympathize with the stir=crazy girl.
Months or even years later, when things were still locked down, but Rachel had become stir-crazy after merely being locked inside for two or three days, I thought sadly that she would, in retrospect, seem like a whiny piker to those who had suffered through 2020.
But seeing Lunar New Year come and go and missing out on the first ball of the school year is difficult for any young person.
Luckily for Rachel and her friends, it will be rescheduled.

My daughter is in China for Lunar New Year. I think I asked her at one point which day the actual new year was. What was I thinking! lol
I’ve known that for years now. ;-)
Happy Lunar New Year!
