Nothing but the truth (and a few white lies)

Headley, Justina Chen

Notes
Fifteen-year-old Patty Ho, half Taiwanese and half white, feels she never fits in, but when her overly-strict mother ships her off to math camp at Stanford, instead being miserable, Patty starts to become comfortable with her true self. Winner of the 2007 Asian/Pacific/American Award for Literature.
