Peter Lee's Notes from the Field by Angela Ahn

5.0

Excellent MG read with an 11-yr old Korean dino-enthusiast protagonist. At its heart, this is a book about family. Petey has dreams of being a palaeontologist and is given the opportunity for a trip of a lifetime to Drumheller but along the way discovers that there may be changes happening to his grandmother's health. I must admit, his little sister, LB, very much steals the show for me, I love her character. It was also very nice to see Korean culture on the forefront. I found the family dynamics of an Asian family, notably parent expectations and sibling rivalry to be realistically portrayed; it definitely reminded me of my youth. All in all, a very good read and I am looking forward to sharing it with my students.
