Yumi Chung really, really wants to be a comedian when she is an adult, but her Korean parents told her to get " a real education " and " a real job ". She and her parents own a Korean Barbecue restaurant, which at the time is having financial problems. So when she finds a comedy club just for kids her age, her parents say..... NO. The she finds out her older sister, Yuri, dropped out of medical school and is joining the Peace Corps. In the end, when her parents find out she has been missing Hanson and stop and identity, it is all a big, big mess. But in the end it all works out and they all find a way to save the restaurant! This book shows a lot of comedy and diversity, but it also includes Yumi being bullied in school the year before. At the end of the day, I highly, highly recommend reading this book if you want a high dose of comedy, and if you want a feel good book.
