A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"Balgassi laces the story’s more serious issues with everyday concerns: friend problems, boy problems, and a teen’s eternal issue - how to avoid looking like a dork. The writing is smooth and believable, and the characterizations are nicely delineated." Booklist, ALA

"Balgassi paints Tae’s struggle without sensationalizing it, personalizing every incident so that it’s not just an example of how to fit in, but part of the universal struggle of all adolescents to find their friends, their place, and their connection to the world. Strong characterizations and believable emotions make this stand out from other early young adult fare." The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"... Balgassi [offers] insight into the struggles of Tae’s Korean American family. Tae’s unique background and perspective add depth to this account, which will also satisfy romantics who crave sympathetic heroines and easy, upbeat solutions to heartache." Publishers Weekly

"Tae is a Korean-American eighth grader. It's bad enough that her social studies teacher assigns her South Korea for her class project, but he also pairs her with popular Josh Morgan which garners her the spite of a popular clique of girls. . . . The characters are familiar and believable and aspects of Korean life are well incorporated into the story. . . . Well written and appealing." School Library Journal
