Moving to a new city can end up being one big adventure for any 11-year-old girl around the world. But I think I got more than my share of excitement. I don’t know why – maybe it’s me and my curiosity, maybe it’s the unusual job my father has, maybe it’s my love for the pandas. What I do know is that I was just trying to fit in after being forced to move to Shanghai with my parents and grandmother – and that’s when the mystery began to unfold!
