Welcome to Litsy!

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.

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.
