Krista and Jason have been best friends since preschool. It never mattered that he was a boy with reddish brown hair and she was "the Korean girl" at school. Now in fifth grade, everyone in their class is preparing their Heritage Month projects. Jason has always loved Krista's Korean family, and particularly her mom's cooking, but Krista is conflicted about being her school's "Korean Ambassador." She's also worried about asking her intimidating grandma to teach the class how to cook their traditional kim-bap. Combine that with her new friends pulling her away from Jason, and Krista has a lot to deal with this year!

This is a sweet middle-grade novel about identity, fitting in (or not), the difficulty of knowing where we stand with people, and the pros and cons of taking risks (mostly emotional and food-oriented risks). The lessons are a little more straightforward than I like but not too bad for a middle-grade book.

Another for #bookspinbingo. A bingo is looking less and less likely this month.

TheAromaofBooks Great progress, though!! 5y

ImperfectCJ @TheAromaofBooks I do feel good about my progress. I think I have too many big books on my list to make any bingo easy to achieve. 😉 5y

TheAromaofBooks I definitely changed my list strategy for August so that I have a better chance of getting a bingo - it didn't happen in July!! 5y

Such a heartwarming book about a Korean Canadian middle grade girl. Loved how she bonded with her heritage and grandmother over food. And how she learned to balance friendships bw her bff and new friends. But the best part is when her mother emphasized that the western concept of beauty (double eyelids) is just that. A western concept. And it doesn‘t mean that there is anything wrong or less attractive with their Korean features.
