sarahsbookstack 's review for:

With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo
5.0

Emoni is a 17 year old high school senior who wants to become a chef .... But she also has a 2 year old daughter to consider. Her grandmother brought her up as her dad lives in Puerto Rico with only yearly visits.

I really loved Emoni's drive and spirit. I loved her friend Angelica-who always is a champion for Emoni when she needs it. She makes her grab life by the horns and run with it.

Emoni is a magician with her hands and eclectic taste. She gets the chance to show her skills in an elective class- Culinary Arts,Spain Immersion. She is such a wonder with food.

The writing is beautiful and flowing! This is my first novel read by this author and I'm a fan!
