From debut author Janae Marks comes a warm, wise and captivating
mystery full of heart, as one girl searches for the truth in the
face of great opposition. 'Truly a must-read.' ANGIE THOMAS, author
of THE HATE U GIVE 'When Marcus tells Zoe he is innocent, and her
grandmother agrees, Zoe begins to learn about inequality in the
criminal justice system, and she sets out to find the alibi witness
who can prove his innocence.' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, 'An Anti-Racist
Children's and YA Reading List' 'From the outset, debut author
Janae Marks takes a sensitive approach to difficult themes of
justice and racism to produce this important, heartfelt book.' THE
SCOTSMAN Zoe Washington isn't sure what to write. What does a girl
say to the father she's never met, hadn't heard from until his
letter arrived on her twelfth birthday, and who's been in prison
for a terrible crime? A crime he says he never committed. Could
Marcus really be innocent? Zoe is determined to uncover the truth.
Even if it means hiding his letters and her investigation from the
rest of her family. Everyone else thinks Zoe's worrying about doing
a good job at her bakery internship and proving to her parents that
she's worthy of auditioning for Food Network's Kids Bake Challenge.
But with bakery confections on one part of her mind, and Marcus's
conviction weighing heavily on the other, this is one recipe Zoe
doesn't know how to balance. A warm and wise contemporary
middle-grade novel by a fantastically talented debut writer. An
incredibly moving and important story with important themes of
racism and justice. Despite the big themes it sacrifices none of
its middle-grade appeal - Zoe is a wonderfully lovable character
and her journey is a real adventure.
