Pie ReviewPolly Portman owned a pie shop called --- what else? --- "Pie" in the very small town of Ipswitch, Pennsylvania. Alice spent many happy hours with her Aunt Polly at the shop, keeping her company, being an extra pair of hands, and learning a lot about the art and science of pie making in the process. What was most unusual about the shop was that Polly never charged for her pies. She just could not bring herself to accept money for doing what she loved to do --- bake delicious pies and give them away to anyone who wanted one. Fresh fruit, cartons of eggs, bags of flour, and other pie ingredients mysteriously appeared each morning on Polly's doorstep, and those gifts were turned into wonderful pies with crusts that were amazingly delicious.
A reporter for the local newspaper wrote an article about Polly and her pies. When the Associated Press printed the story, Polly and her pies became famous overnight, and folks came from all over the country for the delectable treats. All the local pie bakers wanted to know the recipe for Polly's pie crust, which had won her many, many awards, called Blueberries, but that recipe was the one and only thing that Polly refused to share.
When Polly quietly died in her sleep, the residents of Ipswitch were saddened to lose such a good friend. No one was sadder than Alice, who dearly loved her aunt. In her will, Polly actually left her secret pie crust recipe to her very huge and very unfriendly white cat, Lardo. And she left Lardo to Alice.
Confusion reigned, and it turned the little town upside down. Someone broke into the pie shop and vandalized it while searching for the recipe. The recipe simply had to be somewhere. How could a cat own a pie crust recipe? People even wondered if it was written on Lardo's huge belly. Alice's father was highly allergic to cats, and Alice's mother was threatening to take Lardo to the pound. Then Lardo disappeared, and Alice feared he had been catnapped. The little tourist industry that had grown up around Polly's famous pies was losing business since Polly was gone and the shop was shuttered. Now just about every woman in town was baking pies, hoping to finally have a chance to win the coveted Blueberry medal that Polly had easily won 13 years in a row.
This mystery moves along fairly quickly, and the book is filled with interesting characters like the bodybuilding spinster principal of Alice's school, the publicity-driven mayor, and Charlie, Alice's inquisitive friend who wants to help her solve the mystery. In addition to being an entertaining story, each chapter begins with the recipe of a delicious pie, from buttermilk to raspberry peanut butter and many others. Some lucky readers who are pie lovers may be able to convince a mother, grandmother, or kindly aunt to bake a pie using one of Polly's recipes. But be advised that the pie crust recipe is not included.
