Pakistani Muslim Sara and British-Jewish Elizabeth meet in a school cooking class where they gradually navigate friendship, family problems, and fitting in. A delicious blend of serious themes (racism, mental illness, financial insecurity) and classic sixth-grade angst, told in vivid alternating voices.

HTML: A timely, accessible, and beautifully written story exploring themes of food, friendship, family and what it means to belong, featuring sixth graders Sara, a Pakistani American, and Elizabeth, a white, Jewish girl taking a South Asian cooking class taught by Sara's mom. Sixth graders Sara and Elizabeth could not be more different. Sara is at a new school that is completely unlike the small Islamic school she used to attend. Elizabeth has her own problems: her British mum has been struggling with depression. The girls meet in an after-school South Asian cooking class, which Elizabeth takes because her mom has stopped cooking, and which Sara, who hates to cook, is forced to attend because her mother is the teacher. The girls form a shaky alliance that gradually deepens, and they make plans to create the most amazing, mouth-watering cross-cultural dish together and win a spot on a local food show. They make good cooking partners... but can they learn to trust each other enough to become true friends? .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Sara with the racist problems she has to face that makes her have a fortress that she builds because she's different, as well as financial problems that she thinks about (even though her mother and father have asked Sara not to worry about it because it is an 'adult' problem), then her love for art and her reluctance when cooking.
Elizabeth with family problems as well, a mother who feels deep sadness because her grandmother left in England, her father who is rarely home, also with her friendship with Maddy.
Sara and Elizabeth both have their own struggles, but in the middle they finally learn that they can find a friendship with each other, learn how their respective families are, and how they deal with each other's problems. Also apologizing and forgiving, character development for the better and learning from mistakes.
I think this novel is good, the narration is easy to digest, the word processing in the scene can make you emotional when reading it, as well as the warm feeling it conveys. Each character has its own portion. And there are some values that can be applied in your daily life.
