(4) YA Korean American Patti contends with the indignity of being assistant concert master while taking practice SATs and tentatively exploring her feelings for "Cute Trumpet Guy" (who's also a kick-ass rock guitarist). Characterizations are very broad (overbearing, academics-oriented Korean parents and ultra-competitive, musically gifted kids; racist white-boy jocks). But in Patti, partially based on herself, Yoo presents a wry, relatable, self-aware teen.
