- Summary:
- In Singapore, the word "kiasu" is a widely used term that both describes and laughs at the competitive nature of Singaporean culture. Fifteen-year-old Pei Yi discovers the true meaning of "kiasu" firsthand when she moves from her sheltered life in a small Malaysian town and accepts a scholarship to live and study in Singapore.
- In "My Kiasu TeenageLife in Singapore," author Ee Lin See weaves a charming tale of a teenage girl and her adventures as she navigates through all that life has to offer in a big city on her path to adulthood.
- Notes:
- Includes glossary of terms.
