by Linda Sue Park | Read by Mina Kim

Julia Song, who has recently moved to Plainfield, Illinois, is slowly finding her way in her new life as she also discovers the ways that she is like and different from her Korean parents. Mina Kim brings a refreshing voice to Julia, whose teen angst is exacerbated by her concerns about being stereotyped as a Korean. Kim's tones mirror the contrasts of the bubbly child and the moody teen, the forced brightness of her smile and the uncertainty of her inner voice, the kindness she shows to Mr. Dixon and the impatience she has toward her younger brother. Further, Julia's conversations with author Park between the story chapters, telling the story of the story, are always right. They're delivered in the tones and petulant voice of a teenager who wants life, and her story, to go her way. W.L.S.
