Front Desk, Book 4

By: Kelly Yang

Narrated by: Sunny Lu

Mia Tang is going for the goal in the fourth Front Desk novel by New York Times bestselling author Kelly Yang!

The Women's World Cup coming to Southern California, everyone is soccer-crazy -- especially Mia Tang! The U.S. is playing China in the finals, and Mia feels like her two identities are finally coming together. Less exciting, though? The fact that her P.E. teacher wants Mia to get out of the soccer field, too -- or fall short of the grade she needs to earn a spot at journalism camp. But as always, Mia Tang is ready with a plan: she'll track down the two women's teams, interview them, and write an A-grade article for P.E. instead!

It's not so easy, though, finding professional athletes in Pasadena -- or bringing two identities together, even during a game. As Mia aims for her goals, she'll have to face prejudice, discrimination, and her own fears. But if anyone can find a way to win, it's Mia Tang!

Wow! Every Book is just Amazing!

I have read everything that Kelly Yang has written and with each book they get better and better.

A fabulous addition to the Front Desk series

We preordered this after loving the earlier books in the series and devoured it. The storyline kept both my kids and me (mom) engaged and I really appreciated my sons being exposed to the message of girls empowerment. Such a clever take on the real life 1999 Women’s World Cup. We hope the series continues soon!

Amazing life lessons

I love these books. Great insight and lessons about family, friendship, right and wrong and lessons about now racism is wrong. Always done well and tactful

Good story even better series

If you’re thinking about getting this book I would recommend getting all of them they are super good

Great book

I love the end of the book how happy it is! I feel bad for ga Hong though. Thanks Kelly Yang!
