Millicent Min, Girl Genius by Lisa YeeA few months back I read my first Lisa Yee novel Bobby vs. Girls (Accidentally) . I loved Bobby voice and wanted more Yee. So I decided to read her first novel Millicent Min, Girl Genius. I am so happy I finally read this book. I loved it.
11yr old Millicent Min has just completed her junior year of high school. Millicent is not having the best summer. Her parents will only let her take one college course. They signed Millicent up for volleyball. She must tutor her archenemy Standford Wong. Her grandmother and best friend is moving.
Millicent Min is just this little girl who happens to be a genius. Her voice was spot on good. I loved it. I am about to make a strange literary comparison . Millicent Min's voice reminded me of Ignatius voice from A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole.
