Here is a short summary of the novel:<\/p>\n “One lie snowballs into a full-blown double life in this irresistible story about an aspiring stand-up comedian.<\/b><\/p>\n On the outside, Yumi Chung suffers from #shygirlproblems, a perm-gone-wrong, and kids calling her “Yu-MEAT” because she smells like her family’s Korean barbecue restaurant. On the inside, Yumi is ready for her Netflix stand-up special. Her notebook is filled with mortifying memories that she’s reworked into comedy gold. All she needs is a stage and courage.<\/p>\n Instead of spending the summer studying her favorite YouTube comedians, Yumi is enrolled in test-prep tutoring to qualify for a private school scholarship, which will help in a time of hardship at the restaurant. One day after class, Yumi stumbles on an opportunity that will change her life: a comedy camp for kids taught by one of her favorite YouTube stars. The only problem is that the instructor and all the students think she’s a girl named Kay Nakamura–and Yumi doesn’t correct them.<\/p>\n As this case of mistaken identity unravels, Yumi must decide to stand up and reveal the truth or risk losing her dreams and disappointing everyone she cares about.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Stay tuned for more information about this new novel!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today, we started our new read-aloud,\u00a0Stand Up, Yumi Chung!\u00a0 by Jessica Kim.
