Product Overview
From Follett
Text mainly in English with some Chinese.;"Ages 8-12"--Back cover. Momo has lived in Town 99 her entire life. Her favorite place to eat is the Noodle & Bao food cart, run by her best friend, Bao, and Bao's grandmother, Noodle. When a fancy new restaurant opens nearby and threatens to drive Noodle & Bao out of business, Momo and her friends must band together to save their beloved neighborhood.
From the Publisher


Perfect for fans of Animal Crossing and Measuring Up, this whimsical and empowering middle grade graphic novel follows a girl who helps her friend's humble food cart stand its ground against the gentrification of their Chinatown neighborhood.

Momo has lived in Town 99 her entire life. She knows all its quirks and rhythms: the best places to buy fruit, practice tai-chi in the park, and, most of all, get the best meal: Noodle & Bao, run by Momo's best friend, Bao, and their amah, Noodle.

But Town 99 is changing. Rent is becoming unaffordable for Momo and her parents, and even Noodle & Bao has been edged out of its storefront, which was just recently bought out by a new business venture--Fance Cafe. Fance is run by the ambitious Ms. Jujube and her henchmen, who claim they're only beautifying Town 99 with good business.

Momo knows that's not true, and knows that if she doesn't do something, she'll lose everything she loves about her neighborhood. From undercover recon to a cook-off proposal, protest signs to petitions, Momo and Bao are on a mission to protect Town 99. Will they succeed before it's too late
