Pie by Sarah Weeks. Scholastic Press, New York, 2011. 183 pages.

Alice's aunt Polly is the Pie Queen of Ipswitch Pennsylvania. She has made the town famous with her mouthwatering pies and has touched the lives of everyone with her wit and charm and smarts and kindness. And she is Alice's whole world. This becomes even more clear when Polly dies and leaves the town without Polly, without her delicious pies, without a source of income and with a big mystery-- why would she leave her million dollar pie crust recipe to a bad tempered unlikeable cat named Lardo
