MY REVIEW
There were different secrets with different students and teachers in the new school however the way the book was written made them tie in and playing off one another that The Secret Life of Jenny Liu is a fun and entertaining read.
There are times when a book will make you snort, cry, and then there are the ones that will make you just start laughing out loud. This is one of the books that I started laughing out loud, definitely 5/5 stars.

Plot Summary:
Jenny Liu is on the move again. Except this time, she hasn't landed at yet another Chinese-American
School in California but at a public school in South Carolina. Shy, artistic
Jenny wonders if she will ever figure out how to fit in amongst rowdy fifth
graders and eccentric teachers with hard-to-understand southern accents. To
make matters worse, the class thinks she is super smart and her piano teacher
thinks she is a musical genius. With school activities that test her
intelligence and an upcoming piano recital, it’s getting harder for Jenny to do
what’s right—to tell the truth—especially since she knows that The Real Jenny
Liu would be even more of an outsider. Or would she?
