I'm always eclectic with my reading, and whilst teen fiction doesn't feature too frequently in my reading list, this is a book that should be on everyone's.
Pregnant as a teenager and now trying to find her way in the world whilst raising her child alongside school, Emoni knows just how overwhelming the world can be. A story of how really to come alive and find your own path, "With The Fire On High" is the perfect read. Balanced between conflicts and realistic problems are the sweet moments of teenage love, a woman's intuition, and the actions of a chef in the making.
The writing is so vivid I feel like I would be looking for Emoni and Emma on the bus. The illustrations are absolutely stunning. Like a dish you fall in love with, this book will capture your heart, and make you hungry for food, love, and friendship.
