Book review - Front Desk by Kelly Yang

Mia Tang, a Chinese immigrant, moves to the US with her family. As her family searches for a job, they see an ad in the newspaper for an experienced motel manager.

Her family thinks it is a good job and they go to meet the motel owner, Mr. Michael Yao. He tells them that he will give $150 per night and free rent. Mia and her family know that it is an amazing deal and immediately sign up.

Their daily customers appreciate her but say that Mr. Yao has a 'coal of a heart'. Mia doesn't get what they mean.

Mia takes the job at the Front Desk while her parents clean the rooms. Her parents think she's too young and objects, but Mia wanted to continue.

One day when Mr Stein from Room 6 asked for a wake-up call, she called another customer by mistake. She had to give them both refunds. Mr Yao told Mia's family to pay for those refunds.

The next week, Mia started school. She realized that Mr. Yao's son, Jason was also in her class. When it was time for introductions, Mia didn't tell anyone that she worked in a motel because of the weird look on Jason's face.

Mia realized that Room 9's key was missing. So, she made a duplicate of the spare key and cut her finger.

The book Front Desk is Mia's story - her problems and solutions.

It is a very nice book written by Kelly Yang, in a simple way. This is a thick book recommended for 9+. I love this book giving it a 9/10.

It is there on Amazon.
