Notably, the book refers to Korea, not South Korea.
It's pretty darn enlightening for an entry into a series for young children. For example, the long drive to get from the airport to the town where the grandparents live. And all the things they do for fun. And how they settle who pays for which souvenirs.

I will read more if Lee writes them, but I'm relieved to be caught up, I must admit: if I see one more "cute" or "so cute" or "the best" I think I'll get cavities from the sweetness! (

I love Mindy Kim!
In this new early chapter book installment of the series, [book:Mindy Kim and the Trip to Korea|55710947], Mindy, her Dad and her Dad's girlfriend, Julie, take a two week summer trip to South Korea.
Mindy experiences international travel for the first time, reconnects with her paternal grandparents, meets her aunt/uncle/cousins for the first time, and gets to soak up Korean culture and language while there. (
