When you wish upon a lantern / Gloria Chao.
"Liya and Kai had been best friends since they were little kids-- but they haven't spoken since a humiliating incident sparked The Biggest Misunderstanding Of All Time. When Liya discovers her family's wishing lantern store is struggling, 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 save the store, but she can't do it alone-- and Kai is the only one who cares enough to help. Their feuding families and their changing futures threaten to tear them apart again. Can they find a way to make their own wishes come true?"-- Adapted from jacket.
