Pippa Park Raises Her Game, by Erin Yun (Fabled Films Press)
Pippa Park has never been ashamed of her Korean roots. But when she is mysteriously offered a scholarship to Lakeview Private for her renowned basketball skills, she keeps her personal details fuzzy in order to score a seat at the “Royals” lunch table. Pippa’s tangled web soon trips her up, and she is forced to confront the truth about herself and her new friends, with surprising results. Yun’s inventive reimagining of Charles Dickens’s Pip as a bold middle school baller is fast-paced, fun, and wholly genuine.
