Reseña del libro "What's Eating Jackie oh? (en Inglés)"

A Korean American teen tries to balance her dream to become a chef with the cultural expectations of her family when she enters the competitive world of a TV cooking show. A hilarious and heartfelt YA novel from the award-winning author of Imposter Syndrome and Other Confessions of Alejandra Kim and Re Jane. "Park's novel delivers authentic characters who will make you laugh...and cry. Not to be missed!" --Ellen Oh, author of The Colliding Worlds of Mina Lee A KIRKUS REVIEWS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR Jackie Oh is done being your model minority. She's tired of perfect GPAs, PSATs, SATs, all of it. Jackie longs to become a professional chef. But her Korean American parents are Ivy League corporate workaholics who would never understand her dream. Just ask her brother, Justin, who hasn't heard from them since he was sent to Rikers Island. Jackie works at her grandparents' Midtown Manhattan deli after school and practices French cooking techniques at night--when she should be studying. But the kitchen's the only place Jackie is free from all the stresses eating at her--school, family, and the increasing violence targeting the Asian community. Then the most unexpected thing happens: Jackie becomes a teen contestant on her favorite cooking show, Burn Off! Soon Jackie is thrown headfirst into a cutthroat TV world filled with showboating child actors, snarky judges, and gimmicky "gotcha!" challenges. All Jackie wants to do is cook her way. But what is her way? In a novel that will make you laugh and cry, Jackie proves who she is both on and off the plate. Patricia Park's hilarious and stunning What's Eating Jackie Oh? explores the delicate balance of identity, ambition, and the cultural expectations to perform.
