When I read it to my class, they would always beg me to keep reading after I stopped, always a sign of a successful read-aloud. I read Pie aloud to my sixth graders and upon return to school in January we'll be having a pie day where kids can bring in a pie that they made from the novel. In fact, while I was still reading the book, upon the recommendation of Allison at Reading Everywhere, I made the quick and simple buttermilk pie that was so easy to make, it's almost unbelievable that the pie is actually low-cal! To help the reader feed his or her sweet tooth, Sarah Weeks includes a different pie recipe at the beginning of every chapter that are integral to the story. Pie is a quick, fun read that gets your mouth watering from the first chapter with its tantalizing descriptions of all the pies Aunt Polly made in her shop. With everyone in town going pie-crazy, Alice soon finds herself trying to solve a mystery of who trashed her Aunt Polly's old pie shop, and who stole the cat that was left to her in Aunt Polly's will. It's not long after the funeral that the whole town finds out that Polly left her pie crust recipe. ![]() ![]() But when Aunt Polly suddenly passes away, everyone wants to know where or who she left her pie crust recipe to. They spend every afternoon together at Polly's pie shop, appropriately named PIE. ![]()
