Stanford Wong Gets an A
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This is a really fun, fast-paced, moving novel about Stanford Wong's summer. Instead of going to basketball camp like he had planned, his parents make him attend summer school. By the end of the book, Stanford opens up his mind and heart to different types of friends, the joy of reading, and a strong belief in himself. The book is filled with humor and poignancy and wonderful characters such as Stanford's dim sum-obsessed grandmother, his silent best friend, and the nerdy genius Millicent Min. This book is a joy to read.
Yip-Yee! Lisa Yee Does It Again!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Lisa Yee's debut middle grade novel, Millicent Min, Girl Genius rocked my funny bone! When I heard her sequential novel was soon to be released, I honestly had my doubts. How could she top Millie? Really, Lisa Yee didn't need to outshine her first novel; she needed to maintain that literary glow. And she did. She most certainly did. Stanford Wong Flunks Big-Time is the story within Millicent Min, Girl Genius spun around and turned on its head. Now it's Stanford's turn to share his life with us-feelings that range from fear of an impending divorce between his parents, to insecurities with friends, to his very first crush. Lisa Yee brings out the soul, the heart, the mind of what it is to be "boy." Bring on Emily's story, Ms. Yee, I'm ready!
The Inside Story

Lisa is a terrific writer. "Stanford" is a terrific read. I read "Stanford" out loud to my son, age 8, and he loved it.

I loved MILLICENT MIN, so I couldn't wait to read this book. It was different but totally great. I didn't know that boys thought like that. I felt sorry for Stanford because of his dad and everything. It wsa very funny too. Especially the fart test!
Stanford Wong gets straight A's
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I haven't enjoyed a book so much since I read Millicent Min, Girl Genius (also by Lisa Yee). Although it's basically the same story told from another point of view, seeing things through a boy's eyes was eye opening. Lisa Yee really captured the humor of the male adolescent. Each page is either a knee slapper or a tear jerker. I just loved it. My only regret is that Henrietta Gowin (a character in the first book) didn't play into this story. Oh well, maybe she'll be back in the next version.
