I Can Make This Promise

Edie lives in a loving family, but she knows her mother doesn’t like to talk much about her own ancestry. Her mother, of mixed Native American heritage, was adopted by white parents. One day, Edie discovers a box of letters signed “Edith” and wonders who her mysterious namesake is. The story follows Edie’s journey as she learns the truth and reconnects with her Suquamish/Duwamish heritage. I can’t recommend this book enough! Be sure to talk with your kids about how important it is to read and listen to stories which counteract the harmful stereotypes of American Indians that are too often taught in school. 5 hours 46 min. Ages 8 and up.

PIE is a new middle grade novel by Sarah Weeks . In 1955, the small town of Ipswitch, Pennsylvania is kept afloat by Polly Portman’s world-famous pie shop, PIE, Mecca for pie-lovers everywhere. When Polly dies suddenly, she leaves her secret pie crust recipe to her ill-tempered cat, Lardo, and she leaves Lardo to her beloved niece, Alice. The recipe itself is nowhere in sight.

Although everyone in town mourns Polly’s pies, Alice misses her aunt, her refuge from her critical mother and abstracted father, even more. When Aunt Polly’s shop is ransacked, and Lardo is kidnapped, Alice and her new friend Charlie set out together to unravel the mystery .

PIE has a bit of a Roald Dahl feel to it, with larger than life characters, and a faintly surreal quality. In the world of PIE, people don’t just enjoy pie, they are obsessed with it. Like this:

“The Blueberry Award was established in 1922 to celebrate the most distinguished contribution to American pie making. Each year during the month of August, people from all over the country would box up their pies and deliver them to the Blueberry committee for consideration. The committee members would carefully evaluate the pies, “Blueberry Buzz” would spread as the top contenders emerged, “Mock Blueberry” clubs would choose their own favorites, and finally on the first Monday in September, amid a great deal of fanfare, the Blueberry committee would announce the winner.”
