Pippa Park Crush at First Sight

Meet Korean American Pippa Park in the second book of this compelling coming-of-age middle school series about friendships, bullying, crushes, and family. In this relatable story, Pippa reinvents herself and discovers who she really is on and off the basketball court.

Pippa Park is starting to fit in as a scholarship student and basketball star at Lakeview Private. Eliot, her math tutor-and the cutest boy at school-is finally paying attention to her, and Marvel-her childhood friend-is making volunteering a lot more fun. The only thing she hasn't conquered is being completely accepted by the Royals, the popular girls that rule the school.

Now Pippa is faced with a challenge-planning and hosting the annual Christmas Eve party-that could make or break her social life with the Royals. When her family won't allow her to have the party due to expenses and when Pippa doesn't have the courage to tell the Royals because of a bully in their group, her life begins to spiral out of control. How will she host the party, find the perfect dress, and pick the right boy to invite?
