Stanford Wong is in big trouble--or as he would spell it, "trubble"--in this laugh-out-loud companion to the award-winning MILLICENT MIN, GIRL GENIUS and this season's HC, EMILY EBERS.

Stanford Wong is having a bad summer. If he flunks his summer-school English class, he won't pass sixth grade. If that happens, he won't start on the A-team. If *that* happens, his friends will abandon him and Emily Ebers won't like him anymore. And if THAT happens, his life will be over. Soon his parents are fighting, his grandmother Yin-Yin hates her new nursing home, he's being "tutored" by the world's biggest nerdball Millicent Min--and he's not sure his ballpoint "Emily" tattoo is ever going to wash off.

... and this novel represents her at HER best.

This book is less like like reading a story and more like spending time with your new best friends and getting to know them better and better.

It's a quick read, and a great time.

I can't wait the read more books by Lisa Yee -- especially now that she's expanded into novels about my favorite superheroines!

This book was one of my sons 6th grade summer reading choices! He really enjoyed the book and could relate to Stanford Wong and his trials at school and love for basketball. Stanford deals well with all that goes on at home and school.

I ordered this book for my son because the copy he picked up at a thrift store had a misprint and was missing several pages of the story. Any book that makes a middle school boy want to read is a gem in my opinion and my 11 year old really liked this one so I recommend!

My 12 year-old granddaughter would rather play basketball than read, however, this book captured her attention and she claimed it as the best book she has ever read! She laughed as she read it until tears ran down her face and said she could relate to the issues of the characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stanford's point of view
Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2011
I read Lisa Yee's MILLICENT MIN, GIRL GENIUS years ago. I thought this would be a sequel, but it's actually not. The story runs parallel to Millicent's. In the first book Millicent tutors Stanford, who flunked English and has to retake it. I thought Stanford was obnoxious in MILLICENT but with this book, which is in his point of view, I became sympathetic towards him. He lies to his friends about having a summer job, so they won't find out he's taking English in summer school. His tutor, Millicent, is an annoying know-it-all. He's a wiz in basketball and needs decent grades to stay on his team. He has a crush on Millicent's friend, Emily, and strives to impress her. His parents not getting along and his grandmother being sent to a nursing home adds another emotional dimension to this novel. The book is adorable and I look forward to reading book three, SO TOTALLY EMILY EBERS. I've grown to love Millicent, Stanford, and Emily.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good story, but a little long
Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2021
The headline pretty much says it all. I teach a middle school reading remediation class, and this book is part of the library of books I inherited. It was better than most of the rest of them, anyway!
But that doesn't help you.
The story is reasonably plausible, the characters relatable, and the humor pretty on-target for middle school. There are more than a few heart-tugging moments, and some tears. You feel for this kid whose parents are always fighting to the point that he lives in constant fear of divorce; whose beloved live-in grandmother, Yin-yin, gets shipped to the rest home because she can't get along with her daughter-in-law, and makes Stanford swear he'll help her run away; who just can't seem to reach his father's high standards no matter what he achieves.
Some of it seems a little out there. The idea that Stanford will go to such extravagant lengths, and tell so many lies just to keep anyone, even his closest, trusted friends, from finding out he has flunked an English class and is attending summer school every day -- it's the premise the whole story is built upon, and it seems a little unlikely to me. Lots of shaming in this book. But maybe the high expectations of his parents would not seem so far-fetched to someone raised in a home culture such as Stanford's.
Overall I really liked it, but it was a little too long for my taste. It certainly made Stanford's long summer seem REALLY long.
