Measuring Up
by Lily LaMotte
A short and sweet comic about cooking, family, and friendship. Cici connected with her grandmother in Taiwan over their love of food and flavors, and she'd heartbroken to leave her grandma behind when her parents re-locate to Seattle. She wants her grandma to come visit as soon as possible, but plane tickets are very expensive. Then Cici sees a local cooking contest for teens with a $1000 prize for the winner. In true Great British Bake Off style, most of the contestants end up rooting for each other, and even becoming friends. Cici's main conflict is with her father, who thinks she should spend the time she uses practicing for the cooking contest to study for school tests instead. At school Cici navigates being a recent immigrant and some culture clashes, but ultimately her bright spirit and determination win through.
