Summary:Korean American Pippa Park picks up right where she left off . . . trying to balance basketball, school, friends, working at the struggling family laundromat, and fitting in. Eliot, her math tutor--and the cutest boy at school--is finally paying attention to her. And Marvel--her childhood friend--is making her required volunteering much more interesting. But things with the Royals, her new friends and teammates who rule the school, still feel a bit rocky. Especially because Caroline, a head Royal, would like nothing more than to see Pippa fail. So when Pippa is faced with hosting the annual Christmas Eve party that could make or break her social life, how can she say no? Will Pippa make enough money to cover the costs while juggling crushes and everything else? With courage and determination, Pippa sets out to host the party, find the perfect dress, pick the right boy, and stay true to her real self.

Author Notes:Erin Yun is the author of the bestselling AAPI middle-grade series Pippa Park , a reimagining of Great Expectations that includes two titles: Pippa Park Raises Her Game and Pippa Park Crush at First Sight . She received her BA in English from New York University and her Masters in Creative Writing from Cambridge. While at NYU, she served as president of the policy debate team- an experience that proved invaluable when she later worked as the debate consultant for the Tony-nominated Best Play on Broadway, What the Constitution Means to Me.

Erin Yun was also selected by the nonprofit Every Child a Reader to appear on a Get Caught Reading poster. A sought-after speaker, she has led her interactive writing workshop-teaching kids how to craft retellings-both in person and virtually at schools, libraries, and bookstores. People can tell she grew up in Texas by how often she says "y'all." And yes-she really did play basketball as a middle grader!
