After the uncertainty of pandemic life, 12-year-old Amy thinks her luck might be about to change, because: 1) she’s back in school, 2) business at her mom’s Vietnamese restaurant in Houston is picking up, and 3) her grandparents are finally able to visit in person for the first time in almost two years!! But when a trip to NASA goes awry, Amy decides to change her luck herself, just in time for Lunar New Year. As she keeps you updated through her letters, you’ll put the clues together along with Amy, her space-travel-obsessed grandpa, and a mysterious restaurant employee who may be much more than he appears.

Paper Offerings draws on Vietnamese and Asian folklore, immigrant experiences, and food traditions to create a story that audiences of all ages can enjoy, using all of their senses!

You may have first encountered Amy and the Nguyen family in Part 1 of Paper Offerings, created in 2020, when mysterious items started appearing around Amy’s home during lockdown. Anyone can enjoy Part 2, even if you’re not familiar with Part 1!
