Entertaining in a sweet and simple way

This book is meant for the 4th grade to 6th grade level I'm guessing. So in high school, I'm really not part of the book's target audience. I originally picked it out for a younger friend, but ended up reading it myself. It was surprisingly delightful. It reminded me of my transition from Chinese culture to American culture and the psychological mind games that all children play when they like someone or think someone likes them. This is a story from the point of view of a young Chinese boy in the U.S. and his attempt to fix his rather traditional older sister up with a boy. Some cute mix-up's occur in his devious little plan. This story is more enjoyable if children can relate to it. But even if they don't, it contains some fun.
