Provide examples that demonstrate Adeline’s cleverness and her desire to work hard at school. Chinese Cinderella

In Chapter One, Adeleine receives a medal and certificate for her work at school and is chosen to lead the class.

Adeline later receives another award and no one in her family is there to watch.

Everyone forgets about Adelein on her first day at Sacred Heart. She is, none-the-less, clever enough to find a way there and make her way home..... alone.

Adeline's classmates nickname her "Genuis".
