    About this ebook

    Fresh Off the Boat meets Junie B. Jones in this adorable chapter book series following Mindy Kim, a young Asian American girl—in this eleventh novel, Mindy welcomes her baby brother.

    Mindy is so excited to be a big sister—but also nervous, because she’s never been one before! When her baby brother, Charlie, arrives, Mindy wants to be as helpful as she can. But as cute as he is, Charlie is a lot louder—and more stinky—than she could have imagined! Mindy tries her best but feels like she isn’t going anything right. Still, if she can find her own special way to pitch in, she can still prove Charlie is lucky to have a big sister just like her!

      Mindy Kim, Big Sister - Lyla Lee

      Chapter

      1

      My name is Mindy Kim, and early this morning, when it was still dark outside, my parents rushed to the hospital. My baby sibling was finally coming!

      Luckily Dad had already helped me pack my bag last week.

      It’s good to be prepared, since we don’t know when exactly Julie and I will need to go to the hospital, Dad had said. And he’d been one hundred percent right!

      I had everything I needed for the next couple of days in my suitcase. My pajamas, my toothbrush, and even Mr. Toe Beans, my stuffed corgi. I’d already put most of my plushies in a box for my little sibling, but I’d kept Mr. Toe Beans for myself just in case.

      I wanted to go to the hospital with them, but I already knew I couldn’t. Dad and Julie had told me kids weren’t allowed. So my parents dropped off me and my dog, Theodore the Mutt, at my best friend Sally’s house on the way to the hospital.

      Apparently, when babies are born, the parents have to stay in the hospital for a day or two just in case. I couldn’t wait to meet my baby sibling, but I was excited to have an excuse for a sleepover with Sally!

      Even though my baby sibling hadn’t been born yet, I already had a lot more responsibility than I used to. Since there was no one else to take care of Theodore, it was up to me to make sure he was on his best behavior and was a good doggy guest. The first thing I did after I put my bag in the Johnsons’ guest bedroom was take him out in the backyard so he could poop.

      When we came back inside and I finished unpacking my bag, Sally and I still had a few hours before we had to go to school. Mrs. Johnson said I could take a nap, but I was way too jittery and excited to sleep. I really wanted to meet my baby sibling, and I couldn’t stop wondering what Julie and Dad were doing at this very moment in the hospital!

      Sally and her older sisters, Martha and Patricia, sat with me at the breakfast table as Mr. and Mrs. Johnson made us food.

      Are you excited, Mindy? Sally asked. You’re finally going to be an older sister!

      Yeah! I said. But I’m really nervous. I’ve never had a sibling before, so I don’t know what it’s like.

      I still remember what it was like when Mom had Sally, Martha said. "I was much younger then, but I was so happy when she was born. I loved sharing my Barbies with her and dressing
