Description
Chinglish is a humorous and honest portrayal of life in a multicultural family. Jo Kwan's diary entries and doodles offer a unique glimpse into her experiences growing up with parents who speak different languages at home. As the daughter of Chinese takeaway owners, Jo navigates the challenges of being different from her peers, including unruly customers and snotty popular girls. Her erratic father's behaviour adds to the chaos, but Jo dreams of breaking free and forging a career as an artist. This book is a searingly honest portrayal of life on the other side of the takeaway counter, told in a refreshingly funny and relatable way.
