“Another Mindy Kim adventure!
This time she's learning to swim and I loved seeing their little family come together to help Mindy's goals come to fruition. The dynamic of the dad and stepmom sitting with Mindy in the before-bedtime routine was adorable and bittersweet, especially when it was just her and her dad for so long. I love that this little family is feeling a little more complete, especially after their grief.
I also really, really liked how Lyla Lee handled the bullying situation. I like that this author doesn't shy away from the realities of bullies and how disruptive they can be, not just socially but also for one's self-esteem. The way Mindy overcame her bully situation was empathetic, patient, and kind. She also sought to better herself--despite it starting with ulterior motives, she ended up really growing as a character.
This series will always amaze me and I truly do think more people should be checking this series out!
Happy reading!”
