by Lyla Lee (jPB Lee)
From weddings, puppies, family trips, class elections, and pizza parties, your lower-grade reader can follow Mindy Kim in a new paperback series by Lyla Lee. With her dog Theodore the Mutt, nine-year-old Mindy Kim shares her home and school life, as well as her Korean culture and food.
In Mindy Kim Makes a Splash, Mindy Kim’s PE teacher
has announced that they will soon be starting a swimming session during class.
Mindy Kim is unhappy because she does not know how to swim and it seems all the
rest of the students in her class are swimmers. Brandon, the class bully, makes
fun of her because of this and challenges her to a swim race. A few swim
lessons and her family’s support give Mindy Kim all she needs to gain the
confidence to learn to swim and race her class bully.
(If you enjoy this, you may also
wish to try the Sofia Martinez series by Jacqueline Jules or the Zoey and Sassafras series by Asia Citro.)
