Overview
An uplifting middle-grade novel about loss, luck . . . and deep-dish chocolate chip cookiesāperfect for fans of King and the Dragonflies and The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise.
Seventh-grader Freya June Sun has always believed in the Chinese superstitions spoon-fed to her since birth. Ever since her dadās death a year ago, sheās become obsessed with them, and believes that her father is sending her messages from beyond. Like how, on her way to an orchestra concert where sheās dreading her viola solo, a pair of lucky red birds appearāa sure indication that Dad wants Freya to stick with the instrument and make him proud.
Then Freya is partnered with Gus Choi, a goofy and super annoying classmate, for a home economics project. To her surprise, as they experiment with recipes and get to know each other, Freya finds that she may love baking more than music. It could be time for a big change in her life, even though her dad hasnāt sent a single sign. But with the help of her family, Gus (who might not be so annoying after all), and two maybe-magical birds, Freya learns that to be her own person, she might just have to make her own luck.
