Grade Level:
As a high school senior who lives with her grandmother and has a daughter of her own in Philadelphia, Emoni, the Afro-Boricuan protagonist of With the Fire on High, is stressed. Between her frenemy Pretty Leslie and weekend visits for Emma (her daughter) to her father, Emoni has a lot to negotiate, and when Emoni is stressed she turns to cooking. Emoni cooks for—and relies on—an inside circle of family and friends as she navigates the challenges of senior year.
