Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Moving to a new city means Alina has to make new friends, and nothing is worse than lunch at a new school. When her grandmother visits, Alina is inspired to help her cook the delicious Afro-Indian meals she's always loved, but a cruel note from a mysterious lunchtime bully leaves a bitter taste that even Nani's excellent cooking can't erase.
With an audition for Junior Chef fast approaching and Nani's wise lessons helping her, can Alina embrace her heritage and convince her classmates that being different is a good thing?
"A early reader chapter book with black and white illustrations about new friends and new food. Moving to a new city means Alina has to make new friends. And nothing is worse than lunch at a new school. She tries to join other kids at their tables, but they've been friends since kindergarten, and there doesn't seem to be room for her. A visit from her loving grandmother means all kinds of delicious Indian food, made with her favorite spices. But when a mysterious bully leaves Alina a cruel note making fun of her lunch, things don't taste so good anymore."-- Provided by publisher.
