Rin-rin Yu (MSJ01)

Rin-rin Yu just published her debut fiction novel for middle grade readers, called Goodbye, French Fry. When 10-year-old American-born Chinese Ping-Ping is exhausted from all the trials of her life: a schoolyard bully, potential overseas move, a troubling taekwondo move, piano recital mistakes, and a need for glasses – she learns to give her frustrations a big kick and people a second chance. The book is based loosely on her own childhood growing up in suburban New York. More info at rinrinyu.com and on instagram @rinrinyutheauthor
