I really liked this story, but wonder if it's a bit too edgy for middle school . . . Jen is a Korean girl who's very good at Hokaido (fighting). When she lets her crush on fellow fighter Adam distract her, she decides to make an extravagant gesture. But things don't turn out the way she expects. Her twin brothers provide comic relief. This is another title in the new Minx series. So far, I've really enjoyed Plain Janes & this one . . . good storytelling!
