What was the pandemic of the century like at the start?
This swift, gripping novel captures not only the
uncertainty and panic when COVID first emerged in Wuhan, but also
how a community banded together. Weaving in the tastes and sounds
of the historic city, Wuhan’s comforting and distinctive
cuisine comes to life as the reader follows 13-year-old Mei
who, through her love for cooking, makes a difference in her
community. Written by an award-winning author originally from
Wuhan. Grieving the death of her mother and an outcast at
school, thirteen-year-old Mei finds solace in cooking and computer
games. When her friend’s grandmother falls ill, Mei seeks out her
father, a doctor, for help, and discovers the hospital is
overcrowded. As the virus spreads, Mei finds herself alone in a
locked-down city trying to find a way to help. Author Ying Chang
Compestine draws on her own experiences growing up in Wuhan to
illustrate that the darkest times can bring out the best in people,
friendship can give one courage in frightening times, and most
importantly, young people can make an impact on the
world. Readers can follow Mei’s tantalizing recipes and
cook them at home.Â
