"Sometimes it's hard to wait! In this third book in the Ly-Lan Finds a Way chapter book series about a daughter of Vietnamese immigrants, Ly-Lan loses a tooth, but the Tooth Fairy doesn't visit her that night. Now she has to solve a mystery (where is the missing Tooth Fairy?) while learning patience and finding a way to thrive.
Everyone in Ly-Lan's class seems to be losing teeth lately, but Ly-Lan only has one that is just a little bit loose. Then she bites into a mooncake that she got from the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it suddenly falls out! When she puts it under her pillow for the Tooth Fairy and it's still there the next day, she declares the Tooth Fairy must be missing. Ly-Lan rallies her friends to help look for the Tooth Fairy, but the adults are less helpful. They keep talking to Ly-Lan about patience and God's timing. There are more questions than answers in this mysterious case, but Ly-Lan will not rest until she has answers!

Ly-Lan couldn't be more excited for the book fair to come to her school. She's going to buy the latest book in her favorite series, The Adventures of Pizza Head, two cute posters, and some pencils with squishy tops. But when she realizes that not all kids have money to buy books at the Book Fair, she wonders if the Book Fair is actually fair. At Sunday School, Ly-Lan learns that God is always just and fair, and wonders how she can help make it fair for everyone at school.

"Sometimes things don't turn out the way we plan! In this chapter book series about a daughter of Vietnamese immigrants, Ly-Lan navigates her life as a new third grader-complete with old and new friends, unexpected (and disappointing) changes at home and school, and finding a way to thrive.
Third grade is not starting the way Ly-Lan pictured. First, her best friend Cece is put in another class--even after Ly-Lan prayed they would be in the same one. And then Ly-Lan is tasked with showing the new Vietnamese student around. Ly-Lan wants to hang out with Cece, not play translator to the new girl, and she doesn't understand why her prayers aren't being answered. If Ly-Lan is going to flourish in third grade, she must learn to trust in God's plans, especially when it means making some adjustments to her own.
