Episode description
The Vulgar Geniuses duo take a backseat during this episode of FORKS X FANGS. We are joined by resident kid correspondent, Olivia Wang, as she reviews the novel πππππ π«πππ by Kelly Yang. Semi-based on the life of the author, readers learn about Mia Tang who has moved from China with her parents to make a new life in America. Β To make ends meet, her parents take a job at the Calivista Motel. Unable to clean the rooms and run the front desk, Mia decides to help out her parents by running the front desk for them. Β Did we mention that Mia is only 10 years old?! This novel grapples with Β themes such as racism and immigration, making this story a teaching lesson for adults as well.
