Patty Ho seems to have the worst luck of all. She's half Asian and half white, but not Asian enough to fit in with the other Asian girls and not white enough to avoid bullying from Steve Kosanko, school-wide jerk and racist pig. Her mother (good at embarrassing) is constantly pushing at Patty to do better and is in competition with the other Asian moms over their kids. Patty is tall, gawky, and has a brother ready to go to Harvard. Can life get any worse?
Yes, it does when Patty learns she is being sent out to math camp over the summer. Can she deal?

In this story Patty is about to discover many truths about her family and mostly herself. She tells it all (nothing but the truth--and a few white lies) with humor, wit, and charm.
