reader Ê Millicent Min Girl Genius ↠ Lisa Yee

Her to tutor Stanford Wong the poster boy for Chinese geekdom But then Millie meets Emily Emily doesn't know Millicent's I score She actually thinks Millie is cool And if Millie can hide her I bought this book for my daughter and then read it before I gave it to her It was way cute and had a great voice to it Sometimes diary books tend to drag because none of the action is happening in real time It's always the main character's ruminations on the events that we read Lisa pulled it off excellently She is I'm pretty sure a girl genius My only complaint was there were a few swear words that I wish weren't there After all the main character is eleven and since kids tend to read up by a couple of years it's very young girls who are reading this book That said I'll definitely read of Lisa's books

Millicent Min Girl GeniusMillicent Min is having a bad summer Her fellow high school students hate her for setting the curve Her fellow 11 year olds hate her for going to high school And her mother has arranged for I SO wished that this book and the other two of the series had been around when I was 10 or 11 or so There really is a dearth of Asian American children's lit or ethnic children's lit in general and the few that exist often take an educational tone feeling the need to over generalize for an entire race or give a history lesson This book is sublimely well rounded it's laugh out loud funny but it's definitely a substantive book it's an award winner and deals with real issues The best part about this bookseries is that the characters could really be any ethnicity; this book doesn't fall into the Asian American category appealing only to a fraction of the population And yet there is much that Asian American kids can relate to within the books One of the hidden gems that I just loved is Yee's sense of place This is definitely a Southern California book specifically a San Gabriel Valley one This is not outright but there are mentions of the Rialto Theater in South Pasadena and the Bruggemeyer Library in Monterey Park among other things I highly recommend this book to all ages but especially for the 10 12 age range
