NOTE: I received a free eBook copy of this book from LibraryThing's Early Reviewers (January 2022).

When I was in second grade, our teachers taught us a series of multicultural dances that we then performed for our parents. One of these was the Filipino Tinikling dance. I remember clack-clack-swooshing the lightweight plastic rods we used in lieu of bamboo to accompany the featured dancers. Even though our performance was a heavily simplified version of the traditional dance form, it stuck with me forever.

Tinikling is just one of the dance forms that is woven into the story of "Love, Dance & Egg Rolls." Jamie Santiago, a Filipino-American high school student, is grappling with his cultural identity as he navigates the typical ups and downs of high school in an era of increased racial tension. He loves his big Filipino family and their traditions, but is self-conscious about sharing his heritage with his peers, especially since the most popular kid in school may actually be a white supremacist. The book details his preparations for performing dances at an Asian Folk Festival, as well as his newfound relationship with Bethany, his crush. Tanamor portrays Bethany as the supportive cultural ally that any marginalized kid will wish they had on their side. I couldn't help but root for her and Jamie's relationship, and I was so happy that she was a driving force in encouraging Jamie to share his culture with others. At times, she seemed a little too perfect, however.

"Love, Dance & Egg Rolls" is a great introduction to Filipino-American culture in YA novel form, and could reassure any adolescent that their family culture is something to be celebrated, not ashamed of. I, for one, look forward to trying some of the yummy desserts mentioned in the book in the near future, especially champorado! ( )

I really wanted to appreciate this but the prose was wordy and the pacing sluggish. After three chapters I set it aside.

An interesting look at minorities and the experiences that help them fit in to our melting pot of people. The power of family, food and traditions to help us all relate to one another and learn so much. ( )

This is a book you have to give time to . It can take awhile to get into it and it does cover some heavy material. ( )

The way the author describes food is amazing and made me crave all of the different dishes.
