What’s Your Favorite Book About Over-Achievers?
This giveaway is sponsored by Gloria Chao’s American Panda, out from Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing.
At seventeen, Mei should be in high school, but skipping fourth grade was part of her parents’ master plan. Now a freshman at MIT, she is on track to fulfill the rest of this predetermined future: become a doctor, marry a preapproved Taiwanese Ivy Leaguer, produce a litter of babies.
With everything her parents have sacrificed to make her cushy life a reality, Mei can’t bring herself to tell them the truth—that she (1) hates germs, (2) falls asleep in biology lectures, and (3) has a crush on her classmate Darren Takahashi, who is decidedly not Taiwanese.
Over-achievers make for compelling reading, whether you love to hate them (“Sheesh, do you have to prove you’re better than everybody?”) or you sympathize with them (“That’s a whole lot of external pressure crushing you, there.”). What’s your favorite book about an over-achiever? Your answer is good for a giveaway entry!
