Pack Your Bags—Mindy Kim is Going on Vacation (and So is Lyla Lee… to San Carlos!)

Calling all early readers and book-loving families! On Wednesday, April 30 at 4:00 PM, The Reading Bug is rolling out the red carpet (okay, maybe just the story rug) for Lyla Lee, author of the beloved Mindy Kim series!

Lyla Lee

If you haven’t met Mindy yet, she’s a bright, bold Korean-American girl navigating family, friendships, and fun with heart and humor. The series is a gem for young readers—and we’ve got something extra special coming your way: a meet and greet AND book signing with Lyla herself!

She’s here to celebrate the launch of the final book in the series, Mindy Kim and the Fun Family Vacation, where Mindy heads to the gorgeous Jeju Island in Korea. But as we all know, family vacations don’t always go as planned… and Mindy’s trip might be memorable for more than just the views.

Here’s what to know:

• When: Wednesday, April 30, 2025 at 4:00 PM

• Where: The Reading Bug, San Carlos

• What’s happening: Meet Lyla Lee, get your books signed, and celebrate the final chapter in the Mindy Kim series!

• Bonus fun: Check out the Reading Bug Adventures podcast episode on Jeju Island for a fun deep dive into the sights, sounds, and culture featured in the book.

Perfect for fans of the series, young readers just discovering it, or anyone who loves a story filled with family, culture, and a touch of vacation chaos.

Don’t miss it—Mindy’s packing for adventure, and The Reading Bug is your boarding gate!
