Description

Chloe Cho is tired of being compared to other Asian violinists and dealing with misconceptions about her heritage. Frustrated by her parents' avoidance of their Korean background, Chloe feels alienated until she meets Ms. Lee, a Korean American teacher. With Ms. Lee's guidance, Chloe explores her family history, uncovering unexpected truths. The story combines humor and satire with poignant insights into the challenges faced by a bright, middle school 'model-minority' in a non-diverse town.
