Pie is a book filled with mystery, adventure, and of course food. If you like these types of books, then Pie is the book for you. Pie is about an amazing woman named Polly Portman who makes pies and has won 13 Blueberry awards for her outstanding pies. Unfortunately, she passes away and leaves her famous recipes to her CAT, Lardo, and leaves Lardo with her niece ,Alice Anderson. Everyone in the town is dying to find out her amazing pie crust recipe. I loved Pie , although it was really sad, but I still loved it because I love adventures, mystery and food. If I were the author, I would not change a thing about the book because I loved every part of Pie. If I were Alice, I would have solved the problem the same way she did. If I could choose a word to describe this book, I would choose delicious because I think if I tried one of Polly’s pies I would LOVE it. So, if you want to find out what lies ahead, then click on the link above and it will take you to www.amazon.com.  You can buy the book, and there you have it: it’s yours!! And if you do read Pie, I bet you you’ll love it just like me! Oh, and one more thing, every time you start a new chapter, there is a real pie recipe!!

Click this  link to buy Maggie and Oliver from amazon  if you are interested!



Prepare to read the amazing, and wonderful Maggie and Oliver or a Bone of One’s Own by Valerie Hobbs. This adventure is about young ten year old orphan, Maggie, who works for Madame Dinglebush and orphaned dog, Oliver, who’s owner, Bertie, passes away and gets taken somewhere far away. Oliver is in search of Bertie and Maggie got kicked out by madame because she spoke to The Duchess of Landsaway when she was not suppose to. So now they are both starving and homeless. There is a lesson in this book and that is that a miracle can happen when something unexpectedly bad happens.  At the beginning I was very sad but when I was in the middle I started to cheer up , then when I was almost the end I said “ Oh No!” But when I got to the very end I was supper happy and I also was a tiny bit sad and that was only because I didn’t want it to end. If I could change one part I would make Bertie The Duchess of Landsaway’s sister, so it would be so much more interesting. There is a word I would choose to describe this book and it is thrive because i don’t know how they thrived to survived with no food for so long. I loved Maggie and Oliver because there had a really exciting ending and if you want to know the ending than just  BUY THE BOOK by clicking on the amazon link above and purchasing it and BOOM it's yours!! Then, Hopefully you will read it and love it too (just like me)!!!

Pie is an amazing book that will blow your mind. I love Pie so much because the book has so much detail you feel like the book is alive. Although there is a really sad moment in the book everyone should still read it because it an extraordinary book. I would change the part where Alice finds her friend in Polly’s apartment after the tragedy because I feel it is sort of rude how Alice’s friend goes into Alice’s aunts apartment when he didn’t get permission. If I were Polly, I would have solved the problem by just telling Alice the recipe so nothing bad happens. If I could pick a juicy word, it would be breathtaking. Once you read Pie, you will never think of pies the same way because there is a amazing story with mystery, comedy, and sadness all about a pie crust recipe.
