PIE


12-12-17


     PIE, by Sarah Weeks. This book mostly holds, fiction, adventure, and mystery which brings a great excitement to turn each page as you go on in the book.

     This book takes place in 1955 where Polly, the pie queen of Ipswich, passes away with her niece and the whole town mourning for the loss. Alice is left with her aunt's extraordinary fat, remarkably disagreeable cat, Lardo who seems to have the secret to her aunts world famous pie crust recipe. Now everyone wants to get their hands on the secret recipe to be the next famous person with the best pie crust and win the Newbery Medal. Now it is up to Alice and her friend Charlie to discover the not so secret recipe and keep it as family treasure forever. With this book you'll enjoy every last bite of PIE. My favorite part of this book is when we find out if Lardo (Polly’s cat) has the recipe to Polly’s World Famous pie crust, the ending was stunning for me as I’m sure it will be too for others if they read this book.

     The main character is 10 year old Alice is very ambitious when it comes to find the secret pie crust recipe and more mysteries that need to be solved, according to the book “ ‘I don’t know,’ ” said Alice “ ‘But I’m sure if we put our heads together, we can figure it out.’ ” (Page. 79) I can’t say to much, you’ll have to find out what mystery Alice and her friend Charlie are going to try to solve, by reading the book.

     I loved this book I’ve read 3 times and it never gets old. Everytime I turn the page it’s like I haven’t read it before, it’s a surprise every page and very heartwarming from beginning to end. After reading this book I really do recommend this book to others or even my friends. It may be short, but it really sticks in you heart for a very long time. It’s my favorite book of all time and would relate to people in real life like in friendships, losses and in fresh starts… Though the theme would really stick out to some or many, but I know for sure it sticked out to me, that friendship heals the heart when in sorrow times and that the little things like memories, objects or even a person (or even a cat) stick with us even when we lose them. This book will always be my favorite book, and I’ll probably continue reading it time to time, “There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we spent with a favorite book.” - Marcel Proust.   “I am a reader, not because I don’t have a life, but because I chose to have many.” - Unknown
