Any Day With You

A heartwarming novel which explores the magic of creativity, the power of folklore, and the complexity and joys of family love.

Twelve-year-old Kaia and her family live near the beach in Los Angeles and the fun of summer—and movie making—is all around them. Kaia loves turning her friends into magical creatures with special effects makeup. Kaia’s very close to her Filipino great-grandfather, who has lived with her family her whole life. But when he decides to return to his homeland, Kaia’s got to find a way to change his mind. Kaia and her friends are making a short film to enter in the Beach Season film contest, which inspires Kaia’s secret, a plan that will convince her great-grandfather to stay.
