For fans of Kelly Yang and Rebecca Stead, this touching middle grade novel maps one girlโs quest to remember her grandfather through his scavenger hunts; reconnect with her family; and fight for her community in her rapidly changing hometown. Winner of the APALA Youth Literature Award!
Thanks to her Ye-Yeโs epic scavenger hunts, thirteen-year-old Ruby Chu knows San Francisco like the back of her hand. But after his death, she feels lost, and it seems like everyoneโfrom her best friends to her older sisterโis abandoning her.
After Ruby gets in major trouble at school, her parents decide she has to spend the summer at a local senior center with her grandmother, Nai-Nai, and Nai-Naiโs friends for company. When a new boy from Rubyโs grade, Liam Yeung, starts showing up too, Rubyโs humiliation is complete.
But Nai-Nai, her friends, and Liam all surprise Ruby. She finds herself working with Liam, who might not be as annoying as he seems, to help save a historic Chinatown bakery thatโs being priced out of the neighborhood. And alongside Nai-Nai, who is keeping a secret that threatens to change everything,ย Ruby retraces Ye-Yeโs scavenger hunt maps in an attempt to find a way out of her griefโand maybe even find herself.ย
