Yolk (Compact Disc)
Spring 2021 Kids Indie Next List
“What a sharp, terrific book. I love how Choi develops the characters with perfect details. The whole world of Yolk is beautifully built, from the vision of New York City through the eyes of both sisters to the return home to Texas, and every space in between. This family, these sisters — I’m rooting for them.”

If you're a 20-something in need of a character to relate to then look no further than Yolk. Jayne is a college student with quite a few problems; whether that's relationships or with school. It all takes a turn when she finds out her sister, June, may have cancer. Just another thing to add to her plate. I loved going through her journey with her sister as she learns to navigate the neverending overwhelming feeling that life can bring on to young adults as well as the relationships she has with both her family and with food. Mary H.K. Choi can create an environment where her characters feel like real people with their own problems and ideas and thoughts, no matter how scattered they may be.
