"Delightful . . . The plot alone is enough to keep young readers flipping the pages. (I held my breath when the final roster of cheerleaders was announced.) But like all good books about growing pains, this captivating middle-grade gem contains many moments that will resonate with young and old alike." -- The New York Times Book Review "This superlative graphic memoir is a funny, relatable, and genuine story of friendship and belonging. . . . The jokes, daydreams, and quips are delightful without overshadowing or diminishing the impact of [Christina's] experiences with racism and exclusion. The attractive, expressive illustrations feature clean lines and bright colors. A funny, painfully honest look at a middle schooler finding her way." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review "Soontornvat's lived and emotional experiences come through loud and clear....Cacao's manga-inspired artwork captures every nuanced emotion. . . . Readers of this empowering graphic memoir will want to invite Christina to sit at their table to share food, stories, and the secrets to self-confidence." -- School Library Journal , starred review " The Tryout beautifully captures the struggles and pressures of wanting to fit in. As a fellow Thai-American, Christina brought a tear to my eye." -- Dan Santat, New York Times bestselling creator of The Aquanaut, "The plot alone is enough to keep young readers flipping the pages.

As a fellow Thai-American, Christina brought a tear to my eye." -- Dan Santat, New York Times bestselling creator of The Aquanaut "This is an absolutely fantastic middle school, slice-of-life graphic novel. It's autobiographical, with all the cringes and triumphs to make it feel so real. I loved Christina's determination, and the fact that it ends with hope but not at all tritely. Very expressive illustrations and dialogue that feels true to seventh grade and all its ups and downs." -- Tegan Tigani, Queen Anne Book Company LLC, "The plot alone is enough to keep young readers flipping the pages.
