Big thumbs-up on the portrayal of moving to a country where you don't speak the language. It's scary and hard! This also addressed the frustration of being out-performed by a younger sibling INCREDIBLY well. Hi, been there done that. 🙈
Less thrilled about the overall plot -- I get frustrated with stories of "I need to do the thing, and that will magically make everything better!" Because obviously it won't, and I'm frustrated on your behalf that you think it will. This kid needs some professional therapy along with baking cakes. (Also, his paranoid anxiety ["everyone is talking about me"] was incredibly stressful for me, being someone who has anxiety as well.)
