This was a delightful, feel-good middle grade graphic novel about a first generation Taiwanese-American girl who navigates making friends and fitting in in the US, and follows her cooking passion to try and win money to help her grandma visit. Great themes of friendship, passion, and family culture. Loved food illustrations and pop culture/book references throughout! Content warnings for racism.
