But will his mother’s rule-no baking when she’s not home-stop Jingwen from baking cakes? Or will Jingwen find a way around her orders and finally allow himself to work through the grief of losing his father?
It seems like the only thing that brings Jingwen joy is making the cakes from the menu of Pie in the Sky, a shop his father had planned on opening before he tragically passed away. Since he doesn’t speak English, making new friends is hard, and taking care of his annoying younger brother, Yanghao, is a pain. When eleven-year-old Jingwen moves to Australia, he feels like he’s moved to an entirely new planet with creatures who speak an alien language. Every single one looked absolutely mouthwatering, but I didn’t have so much as a spoonful of frosting nearby! I’m already looking forward to a reread-and this time I’ll be huddled up in a bake shop. Carrot cake, German chocolate cake, and, of course, the best of the best-birthday cake! In Remy Lai’s Pie in the Sky, the main character Jingwen makes an abundance of cakes. Cake has always been one of my favorite desserts.
