This book is cute and sweet and a book that would be good to hand to your 8-11 year olds especially highlighting having immigrant parents, dealing with racism, fitting in and how to stand up to your friends. 

However, as an adult who enjoys middle grade books this one read a bit too young to me for adults so if you’re looking for middle grade books I would skip this one. It read too slow and below the level I want to be reading at thus it bored me and I skimmed a lot of it just to get through it. 

Overall it’s well written for the age it is designed for .
