Synopsis

“Fast-paced, fun and wholly genuine.”—The New York Times Book Review

Readers will cheer on Pippa Park in this wonderful middle school book about friendships, bullying, basketball, and family. Fans of The Baby-Sitters Club and Kelly Yang's Front Desk Series will enjoy this relatable story.

Life is full of great expectations for Korean American Pippa Park. It seems like everyone, from her family to the other kids at school, has a plan for how her life should look.

When Pippa gets a mysterious basketball scholarship to Lakeview Private, she jumps at the chance to reinvent herself. At school, Pippa juggles old and new friends, a crush, and the pressure to get As and score points while keeping her past and family’s laundromat a secret from her elite new classmates.

But when Pippa begins to receive a string of hateful, anonymous messages via social media, her carefully built persona is threatened. As things spiral out of control, Pippa wonders if she can keep her old and new lives separate, or if she should even try.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Erin Yun is the author of the bestselling AAPI middle-grade series Pippa Park, a reimagining of Great Expectations that includes two titles: Pippa Park Raises Her Game and Pippa Park Crush at First Sight. She received her BA in English from New York University and her Masters in Creative Writing from Cambridge. While at NYU, she served as president of the policy debate team– an experience that proved invaluable when she later worked as the debate consultant for the Tony-nominated Best Play on Broadway, What the Constitution Means to Me.

Erin Yun was also selected by the nonprofit Every Child a Reader to appear on a Get Caught Reading poster. A sought-after speaker, she has led her interactive writing workshop–teaching kids how to craft retellings–both in person and virtually at schools, libraries, and bookstores. People can tell she grew up in Texas by how often she says "y’all." And yes–she really did play basketball as a middle grader!
