* The humor [is] akin to that of Jeff Kinney's popular Wimpy Kid series . . . the perfect mixture of funny and emotionally resonant. --School Library Journal, starred review
* Perfect for fans of Gene Luen Yang and Victoria Jamieson. --Shelf Awareness, starred reviewA poignant, laugh-out-loud novel with comic illustrations about an eleven-year-old boy's immigration experience, his annoying little brother, and their many many hijinks. Perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier!
A Parents Magazine, NPR, an NY Public Library Best Kids Book of the Year!
Heartwarming and rib-tickling. --Terri Libenson, bestselling author of Invisible Emmie When Jingwen moves to a new country, he feels like he's landed on Mars. School is torture, making friends is impossible since he doesn't speak English, and he's often stuck looking after his (extremely irritating) little brother, Yanghao. To distract himself from the loneliness, Jingwen daydreams about making all the cakes on the menu of Pie in the Sky, the bakery his father had planned to open before he unexpectedly passed away. The only problem is his mother has laid down one major rule: the brothers are not to use the oven while she's at work. As Jingwen and Yanghao bake elaborate cakes, they'll have to cook up elaborate excuses to keep the cake making a secret from Mama. In her hilarious, moving middle-grade debut, Remy Lai delivers a scrumptious combination of vibrant graphic art and pitch-perfect writing that will appeal to fans of Shannon Hale and LeUyen Pham's Real Friends, Kelly Yang's Front Desk, and Jerry Craft's New Kid.
