Liya and Kai had been best friends since they were little kids, but all that changed when a humiliating incident sparked The Biggest Misunderstanding of All Time—and they haven’t spoken since. Then Liya discovers her family's wishing lantern store is struggling, and she decides to resume a tradition she had with her beloved late grandmother: secretly fulfilling the wishes people write on the lanterns they send into the sky. It may boost sales and save the store, but she can't do it alone . . . and Kai is the only one who cares enough to help. While working on their covert missions, Liya and Kai rekindle their friendship—and maybe more. But when their feuding families and changing futures threaten to tear them apart again, can they find a way to make their own wishes come true?","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9780593464359","publication_date":"20230214","publisher":"Penguin Young Readers Group","slug":"when-you-wish-upon-a-lantern","subtitle":"Kindle Edition","title":"When You Wish Upon a Lantern"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"YAF046130","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Asian American YA","score":0.8482,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"YAF046030","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Asia for Teens","score":0.8343,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"YAF052070","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Multicultural & Interracial YA Romance","score":0.8197,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"YAF046130","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Asian American YA","score":0.8482,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"YAF046030","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Asia for Teens","score":0.8343,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"YAF052070","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Multicultural & Interracial YA Romance","score":0.8197,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"YAF018040","confidence_band":"high","label":"Multigenerational YA Stories","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"YAF046130","confidence_band":"high","label":"Asian American YA","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"YAF052060","confidence_band":"high","label":"Romantic Comedy for Teens","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Asian American YA","score":0.8482,"slug":"asian-american-ya"},{"label":"Asia for Teens","score":0.8343,"slug":"asia-for-teens"},{"label":"Multicultural & Interracial YA Romance","score":0.8197,"slug":"multicultural-interracial-ya-romance"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers who enjoy Asian American YA","Good for fans of Romance","Good for readers who enjoy Asian American YA and Asia for Teens."],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Jesse Q.
