7th grader Sana wants so badly to learn to be a chef from her head chef father, but the two of them always seem to clash in the kitchen. When she gets a chance to learn from the mother of a boy who has just returned to town, she doesn’t mean to lie to everyone. But the boy, Koji seems to hate her father for running the sushi restaurant his mom worked at out of town, and her best friend/cousin Charli is suspicious of Koji because he left town under sus circumstances. How long can Sana keep all of her secrets before someone discovers a truth? 

A little family drama, a little young love, very cute. Part of the Scholastic Wish series, so directly to paperback. For your girls who aren’t quite ready for “The Summer I Turned Pretty”.
