First-generation Filipino siblings JJ and Althea struggle to belong at school. JJ wants to fit in with the popular crowd, while Althea wants to be accepted as she is. But that hope seems like a long shot for both of them. To make matters worse, they have to help their parents run the family food truck by dressing up as a dancing pig and passing out samples. Ugh! And their mom is always pointing out lessons from Filipino folklore—annoying tales they’ve heard again and again.
But when witches, ogres, and other creatures from those same stories threaten their family, JJ and Althea realize that the folklore may be more real than they’d suspected. Can they embrace who they really are and save their family?
