Ly-Lan and the Missing Tooth Fairy

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!
