PIE, PIE, & MORE PIE!

If you haven't already heard, the first book in my new middle grade series - THE GREAT PEACH EXPERIMENT - will roll into stores in April, and you can pre-order your copy now!

When I visit with kids at schools, I often get asked which of my books is my favorite. Now, finally, I have an easy answer: THIS ONE! There's so much of my own family stirred into this adventure, and I've never enjoyed writing any book as much as I did this one. For When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Peach Pie, I mixed together a used food truck, a road trip that doesn’t go as planned, a zany family, and a whole lot of pie, creating the recipe for a sweet middle grade series brimming with humor, heart, and characters you’ll fall in love with.

What's it about?

After a tough year, Lucy, Freddy, and Herb Peach are ready for summer vacation. Lucy can't wait to dive into all of the books on the 7th grade summer reading list. Freddy wants lots of time to work on his art projects and build cardboard fortresses (when he isn’t stuck in summer school). Herb simply wants to swim every day and find a pet to care for all on his own.

But on the brink of summer break, their dad makes a big announcement: one of the inventions their mom came up with before she passed away has sold, and now the Peaches are millionaires! Dad has bigger plans than blowing all the cash on fun stuff or investing it. He’s bought a used food truck, and has decided they'll spend the summer traveling the country selling pies. They dub it the Great Peach Experiment – a summer of bonding while living out one of Mom’s dreams.

Summer plans, sunk. And there’s one more issue Dad’s neglected: none of them knows how to bake. . .

A perfect blend of humor, heart, and family antics, When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Peach Pie is a delectable treat to be gobbled down in one sitting, or savored slowly. (Slice of pie on the side optional, but highly recommended.)
