A fun premise? That includes food? And has a touch of tween romance? Did they approach Debbi Michiko Florence for this?
Oh good. So glad they did!
We’re so excited to have a book of Debbi’s included in Scholastic’s amazing Wish line and just how perfect of a story has Debbi cooked up?
Looks delicious!
It’s going to be extremely tough to wait until 2023, that’s for sure. Until then, grab a favorite snack (I’m getting a cookie!) and help us celebrate this foody and fun book deal.
Jenne Abramowitz at Scholastic has bought world rights to This Is How I Roll by Debbi Michiko Florence for the Wish line. In this contemporary middle grade novel, 12-year-old Sana dreams of becoming a renowned chef like her father, but when he refuses to teach her without explanation, she decides he’s not the only one who can keep secrets, and begins cooking up trouble with an off-limits boy. Publication is slated for spring 2023; Tricia Lawrence at Erin Murphy Literary Agency represented the author.
Congratulations, Debbi!
