Pie

In March, fifth graders will be going to Gordon School to participate in the annual Rooster Games. Students who read seven 2013 Rhode Island Children's Book Award nominees and report on them to their classroom teacher get to partake in the games. One fifth grader chose the RICBA nominee, Pie, for her MyQuest Book Club Book review assignment. I love how she described the book and how it inspired her to bake a pie with her Mom! Read the book review below:

"I read a fiction book called Pie by Sarah Weeks. It's about a girl named Alice who was inspired by her Aunt Polly's pie making. Aunt Polly dies and everyone is upset because she made the best pies in town and they want her famous pie crust recipe, so they can be the next pie contest winners. Everyone thought she left her pie crust recipe to her cat Lardo... but did she really? I recommend this book to anyone that loves to bake or loves to eat pies. This book contains real pie recipes that were contributed to the author by real people. My mother and I actually made the Apple Pie recipe and it tasted delicious! This book is great for anyone who wants to try new recipes, as well as, anyone who likes a good mystery." - A.M.
