I was thrilled to come home today and see this waiting on my doorstep. I immediately started it while eating dinner, and I loved it. You can see how Cilla has grown up and matured from the first book to the third, and it's a delightful transition. At first the book felt a bit too serious and not as goofy as I loved in the first two books, but somehow it all fits perfectly.

I also loved that this series has been semi-autobiographical, and reading Tan's afterword and seeing her family photos really made the book. I'm sad to hear, however, that this is perhaps the last book in the Cilla Lee-Jenkins series.

A middle grade book explaining mental labor in only a way 10/11 year olds would see and understand was phenomenal.

Cilla decides it's time to turn to her writing skills and make YeYe the hero of his own epic tale. In it she'll help him on his recovery.
