Summary

Ember is a young dragon who doesn’t quite fit the traditional mold. While others expect her to roar, fly, and stomp, Ember prefers to dance in glittery sandals, expressing herself through graceful, joyful movements. But at first, Ember is laughed at by the other dragons, who don’t understand her passion. Undeterred, Ember embarks on a journey to embrace her individuality, learning valuable lessons from wise mentors and making new friends along the way. As she practices and perfects her dance, Ember teaches everyone around her the true power of being yourself. This heartwarming story of courage, diversity, and self-expression reminds young readers that being different is something to celebrate, not hide. Through Ember's sparkling sandals and the dance that comes from within, she shows us all that the world is better when we embrace our unique rhythms.

    When a celebrity chef’s new restaurant threatens Mila’s family’s food truck, she plans to expose them for the recipe thieves they are—even if that means dabbling in the Filipino folk magic she’s tried to avoid. Fans of Tae Keller and Lily LaMotte will cheer for this charming story about food, family, and finding the place you belong. 
    Mila may have moved to Coral Beach months ago, but it still doesn’t feel like home. A few awkward incidents with her new friends make her wonder if she’ll ever neatly fit into the super-samey small town. 
    The only place she can be herself is at her dad’s Filipino-Indian food truck, The Banana Leaf. But when celebrity chef twins the Fab Foodie Brothers open a restaurant nearby, it turns out the food they are serving is exactly the same as The Banana Leaf's--right down to the recipes! 
    Mila realizes that she needs to take the Fab Foodie Brothers down before they run her family's tiny truck out of town. But that means dabbling in the Filipino magic that she has shied away from her whole life . . . as well as alienating her new friends.   
    Does Mila have to choose between her family and fitting in? Or, like the best recipes, will a blend of the traditional and the unexpected mix into something truly special?
