(4) YA Ana's junior-high graduation dinner is a fine mess of cultures and prejudices: her grandmothers--one African American, one Taiwanese--compete for best grandma, and the Japanese American father of Ana's crush doesn't want him dating a black girl. The book's short time period is crammed with events and points of view, but Smith's food-centered narrative has plenty of humor and heart.
