Synopsis
Thirteen-year-old Lauren, a Korean American adoptee, is best friends with the prettiest - and tallest - girl in the school, Julie, who has an endless amount of confidence. Lauren, on the other hand, has been saving for years to pay for a special eye surgery that will deepen the crease of her eyelids. It's not that she wants to look like everyone else in her suburban Connecticut school; she'd just be happy if kids stopped calling her "slant" and "gook." Up until now she's been able to ignore the insults, but when the cutest boy in her class calls her "slant," she realizes she needs to do something about her "nickname." When she convinces her reluctant father to consent to the eye operation, Lauren suddenly finds herself faced with a challenge: should she get the operation that might make her more confident and popular, or can she find that confidence within herself? Laura Williams' sensitive, beautifully written story offers a powerful lesson to young readers whose self-esteem depends too much on how they look., Lauren, a Korean-American adoptee, has been saving for years to pay for a special eye surgery that will deepen the crease of her eyelids. However, Lauren wonders whether the operation will make her more confident and popular, or if she can find that confidence within herself., Lauren, a Korean American adoptee, is best friends with the prettiest girl in school. Julie has an endless amount of confidence. Lauren doesn't. It's not that she wants to look like everyone else in her suburban Connecticut school--she'd just be happy if Sean, the cutest boy in her class, noticed her. And she could do without the names, too. Like "Slant." When Sean slips one day and calls her by the taunt, she knows she has to take matters into her own hands. Using her life savings, Lauren decides to undergo a special eye surgery that will deepen the crease of her eyelid so she just blends in. After she convinces her father to agree, Lauren learns a secret about her dead mother and finds herself faced with a dilemma: should she get the operation that might make her more confident and well-liked, or can she find that confidence within? Sensitive and beautifully written, Laura E.
