Sarai and the Around the World Fair (Sarai #4)
Written by Sarai Gonzalez
and Monica Brown
Illustrated by Christine Almeda
Published by Scholastic Inc.
The fourth book in the Sarai Gonzalez illustrated chapter book series inspired by the life of 11-year-old viral video sensation and social activist Sarai Gonzalez.
The students are sick and tired of Spaghetti-and-Meatball Mondays in the cafeteria. The administration says they can help create a new menu, so students throughout the school make booths with their family’s specialties for Around-the-World Day. It’s a head-to-head battle between Sarai’s Peruvian chicken and Valeria’s tamales. Who will win the big cook-off and get their grandparents’ recipes on the cafeteria menu?
