About this listen

When You Reach Me meets Love Sugar Magic in this unforgettable middle grade novel where time travel, family recipes, and family secrets collide.

Maya’s grandmother, Halmunee, may be losing her memory, but there’s something almost magical about the way she cooks. Whether Halmunee serves salty miyeokguk or sweet songpyeon, her stories about Korea come to life for Maya.

Then one day, something extraordinary happens: a single delicious bite of patbingsu transports Maya and Halmunee back into one of Halmunee’s memories. Suddenly they’re in Seoul, and Halmunee is young.

This is just the first of many secrets Maya will uncover: that she and her grandmother can time-travel, and they aren’t the only ones with this ability. As Maya eats her way through the past, her questions multiply—until a shocking discovery transforms everything she thought she knew about family, friendship, loss, and time itself.

Brimming with heart and interspersed with seven family recipes that listeners can make themselves, this is a story to savor by rising Korean American author Flora Ahn.

I enjoyed the author’s first book- The Golden Orchard so I was excited for this one. Hoping maybe, it would be a sequel. I was so confused because this is the exact same plot as Golden Orchard! I thought I was losing my mind. You really only need to read one of these and I thought the first book was better. Definitely felt like I wasted a credit on this but I guess it evens out since the first book in included in your membership.
