A trite, predictable story about a young Korean girl written by a middle-aged white man . Hmm. Teen graphic novel. Dixie has very few friends (only one, in fact), doesn't get along with other kids at school, and can barely speak comprehensibly in front of the boy she likes. One day she decides to go out on a limb and blow all of her savings to buy him a unique birthday present, which has the unfortunate fate of being re-gifted a number of times before she figures out that her crush is a total jerk. This one is clever, satisfying and very enjoyable. This was an excellent graphic novel! I have read it at least 4 times now and it never gets old. It deals with the trials and tribulations that Dixie, a Korean-American girl, faces as she struggles to survive high school, win a martial arts tournament, survive her family and deal with unrequited love and anger management issues. By the end, Dixie manages to sort out her priorities and even makes a play for guy, all while battling for a martial arts championship. This story, and pretty much everything by this comic publishing company, is completely satisfying and damn near perfect. The art is well-suited to the story, with first class writing, all of which leads to a first class story. I recommend this graphic novel to one and all, but fellow girls might connect with Dixie the most.
The story’s packed with events and characterization, making the time spent on it feel worthwhile and fulfilling, and [the] quirky style makes the book distinctive while keeping it easy to read. The book’s inhabitants radiate their emotions, drawing the reader in, especially when help comes from unexpected places. Tilhører ForlagsserienDistinctionsNotable Lists
"Meet Jen Dik Seong -- or "Dixie" as she's known to her friends. She's living on the ragged edge of LA's Koreatown, and her only outlet is the ancient martial art of hapkido. In fact, she's on the verge of winning a championship -- until she falls for fellow hapkido fan/California surfer boy Adam and gets thrown spectacularly off her game. As she struggles to win the tournament -- not to mention Adam's affections -- Dixie learns that in love and in gift-giving, what goes around comes around"--Cover, P. [4].
