Overview

Seventh grader Freya June Sun has always believed in the Chinese superstitions spoon-fed to her since birth--but ever since her dad's death a year ago, she's become obsessed, believing that her father is sending her messages through signs from the beyond. Like how, on her way to an orchestra concert where she's dreading her viola solo, a pair of lucky red birds appear, a 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 loves baking much more than music. It may be time for a big change in her life, even though her dad hasn't sent a single sign that it's something he approves of. 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.

Author Information

"E. L. Shen is the author of The Comeback. She is a writer, an editor, and a former figure skater. Originally from upstate New York, she currently resides in Manhattan. Jennifer Sun Bell (she/her) is an award-winning actress, singer, and voice-over actor who is passionate about giving a voice to the unheard stories of this world and of our imagination. Being mixed, Korean and American, she found there were so many silenced voices and stories that needed to be shared. A once shy girl who was once told her speaking voice was ""not good"" and that she should speak like she sings, she's found that no matter your sound, if you speak from your heart, your voice will be heard and will make an impact. She can be heard as bomb enthusiast Rin in Midwinter Entertainment's Scavengers, a fun singing (insert NDA) in an upcoming Dreamworks animation, and so much more she can't share just yet! She also had the pleasure of narrating some amazing audiobooks, including Free Food for Millionaires by Min Jin Lee and What's Done in Darkness by Laura McHugh. Jennifer has also worked in film/TV alongside some of the greats, like Jim Carrey and Don Cheadle."
