Stanford Wong Flunks Bigtime Lisa Yee 9780439622486 Books Reviews

Stanford Wong Flunks Big Time is a fun, funny and insightful read for any middle grade student who has ever felt academically inadequate or had trouble understanding why adults fuss so much about learning. Stanford is just not into school. His whole life revolves around basketball. His workaholic parents don't understand him, and don't understand why he can't be more like his academic all-star sister. His summer is ruined when he flunks English, and his parents not only make him go to summer school, but hire his arch nemesis, Millicent Min to tutor him. Millicent is everything Stanford is not. She is a true genius who loves learning and is taking college classes at 14. Millicent is as unhappy about the arrangement as Stanford. In spite of themselves, they manage to forge a temporary peace treaty and turn a miserable summer into a tolerable summer.
I read Lisa Yee's MILLICENT MIN, GIRL GENIUS years ago. I thought this would be a sequel, but it's actually not. The story runs parallel to Millicent's. In the first book Millicent tutors Stanford, who flunked English and has to retake it. I thought Stanford was obnoxious in MILLICENT but with this book, which is in his point of view, I became sympathetic towards him. He lies to his friends about having a summer job, so they won't find out he's taking English in summer school. His tutor, Millicent, is an annoying know-it-all. He's a wiz in basketball and needs decent grades to stay on his team. He has a crush on Millicent's friend, Emily, and strives to impress her. His parents not getting along and his grandmother being sent to a nursing home adds another emotional dimension to this novel. The book is adorable and I look forward to reading book three, SO TOTALLY EMILY EBERS. I've grown to love Millicent, Stanford, and Emily.
Lisa Yee's debut novel, Millicent Min, Girl Genius, introduced readers to a prodigy who is forced to take part in a summer volleyball team. Yee followed that book up with Stanford Wong Flunks Big-Time, which retells that summer from Stanford's point of view.

Stanford would much rather play basketball than study, so he's super upset when he has to go to summer school instead of basketball camp. He also doesn't want to be tutored by Millicent, but he relishes the opportunity to make her look silly when she pretends that SHE is the one being tutored.

I've known many real-life Stanfords, kids who have struggled with school and excelled in sports. I want to give this book to all of them, even if they are grown up now. Stanford Wong Flunks Big-Time will hopefully encourage readers to see the value in both education and athletics. With realistic situations and winning humor, Stanford's story will appeal to reluctant readers and avid readers alike.

Eager for more Stanford? Make sure to pick up the other books in the trilogy - Millicent Min, Girl Genius was the first book and So Totally Emily Ebers wraps things up. Yee's written three slam dunks in a row!
It's the last day of sixth grade, and Stanford Wong can't wait to get out of school and go to Alan Scott's Basketball Camp, the best camp any basketball player could dream of. This is going to be the summer of his life...

...well, that is until he receives his grade for English class a big fat F.

An F means that basketball camp is over. Stanford needs to go to summer school instead. Not only that, Stanford will be tutored by the annoying genius Millicent Min.

What else can go wrong?

Lots more! Stanford's parents are not getting along, and his grandma recently moved into a nursing home where she's miserable. On top of all that, Stanford obviously cannot let his friends and the girl he likes, Emily Ebers, know that he flunked big time! This is certainly not going to be the best summer of his life.

Or is it?

Lisa Yee is not only a funny lady, but she has done something quite original she's written three novels (that's not the original part), and each one of them tells the story from the point of view of a character that eventually shows up in her other books Millicent Min, Girl Genius;So Totally Emily Ebers; and STANFORD WONG FLUNKS BIG-TIME.

Of the three titles, I have only read this one, but I'm sure that readers of the other two books will enjoy reading this novel to find out what Stanford thinks about girls, parents, friends, and basketball. And they'll also find out Stanford's biggest secret when he gets nervous HE KNITS!

The back of the book contains a section with an interview with the author, a recipe for Stanford's grandma's Won Tons, and much more.

This book was one of my sons 6th grade summer reading choices! He really enjoyed the book and could relate to Stanford Wong and his trials at school and love for basketball. Stanford deals well with all that goes on at home and school.
My 12 year-old granddaughter would rather play basketball than read, however, this book captured her attention and she claimed it as the best book she has ever read! She laughed as she read it until tears ran down her face and said she could relate to the issues of the characters.
I ordered this book for my son because the copy he picked up at a thrift store had a misprint and was missing several pages of the story. Any book that makes a middle school boy want to read is a gem in my opinion and my 11 year old really liked this one so I recommend!
... and this novel represents her at HER best.

This book is less like like reading a story and more like spending time with your new best friends and getting to know them better and better.

It's a quick read, and a great time.

I can't wait the read more books by Lisa Yee -- especially now that she's expanded into novels about my favorite superheroines!
