A moving, warmhearted story
about discovering one’s roots.
Hot, Sour, Salty, Sweet
SHERRI L. SMITH
ANA SHEN HAS what her social studies teacher calls a “marvelously
biracial, multicultural family” but what Ana simply calls a Chinese
American father and an African American mother. And on eighth-grade
graduation day, that’s a recipe for disaster. Both sets of grandparents are in
town to celebrate, and Ana’s best friend has convinced her to invite Jamie
Tabata—the cutest boy in school—for a home-cooked meal.
Now Ana and her family have four hours to prepare their favorite dishes
for dinner, and Grandma White and Nai Nai can’t agree on anything. Ana
is tired of feeling caught between her grandparents and wishes she knew
whose side she was supposed to be on. But when they all sit down for their
hot, sour, salty, and sweet meal, Ana comes to understand how each of
these different flavors, like family, fit perfectly together
Sherri L. Smith is the author of Lucy the Giant and Sparrow. She lives in Los
Angeles, California.
