I love this book.

But the more Maizy discovers, the more questions she has. - And the Golden Palace has Secrets.
Sometimes in good ways, sometimes in disappointing ways. - And people can surprise you.
For instance: - You can tell a LOT about someone by the way they order food.
But plans change, and as Maizy spends more time in Last Chance (where she and her family are the only Asian-Americans) and at The Golden Palace--the restaurant that\'s been in her family for generations--she makes some discoveries.
Her Mom\'s plan is just to stay for a couple weeks, until her grandfather gets better. until now. . .
