"Cloudwish" is a coming-of-age novel that follows the life of Vu Phan, a Vietnamese teenager living in Australia. Struggling with her identity and cultural differences, Vu feels like an outsider at her school. She has a close-knit family that maintains rich traditions, which often clash with her desire to fit in with her peers. This internal conflict drives much of the narrative as she navigates the challenges of adolescence while holding onto her heritage.
The story takes a magical turn when Vu discovers a unique ability that allows her to connect with the world in unexpected ways. This newfound power offers her both challenges and opportunities, pushing her to explore her dreams and confront her fears. It serves as a metaphor for her journey towards self-acceptance, as she grapples with the complexities of her dual identity.
