The teacher always says: "Speak louder!" Her mother always says: "Don't be shy!" Her grandfather tells her: "Don't pay attention, silence is gold, beautiful." But Jenny would rather be stealthy and fierce, like a shark. When Jenny's mother works late at the hospital, Jenny stays with her friend Amina. Together they spend hours in silence, reading and drawing. Meanwhile, Jenny's grandfather is mourning the death of his wife. Maybe Jenny and Amina can help him.

The seven brothers are precursors to the modern comic book super heroes that are so popular. Each has an unusual skill. The first has remarkable hearing. The second can see over vast distances. The third has unusual strength. The fourth has bones of iron. The fifth has legs that can grow as long and thick as tree trunks. The sixth brother can never be too hot. The seventh brother can cry such large tears that they can drown an entire village. Much effort goes into keeping him happy. The key to the story is that they look alike. The Seven Chinese Brothers is for children who are past the time...
