With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo
I had high hopes for this one, as I liked Ms. Acevedo's last offering, but, again, not a great book.
Emoni is a senior in high school in Philadelphia. She has a two-year-old daughter named Emma. She lives with her Abuela. She loves to cook. Near the beginning of the book, she is accepted into the culinary arts classes at school, and they will have a trip to Spain in the spring. That is the book in a nutshell.
What irritated me was that up until the actual trip to Spain, there was a lot going on. Once she got to Spain, there was not a lot devoted to the trip. From that point on, it felt rushed. A point in this book's favor is that it was a quick read with short chapters.
