This book would be a great opportunity to discuss character foils. The two sisters are very different, yet mirror each other. Character foils are a common occurrence in literature and giving examples through text like Yolk by Mary H.K. Choi will help teens learn to find character foils in other literature they are reading.
This book has great representation and tells life lessons that are important for all ages. The storytelling is beautifully done. It is an easy read full of laughter, sadness, and growth.
