Pie in the Sky

When Jingwen moves to a new country, he feels like he’s landed on Mars. School is
torture, making friends is impossible since he doesn’t speak English, and he's often
stuck looking after his (extremely irritating) little brother, Yanghao.

To distract himself from the loneliness, Jingwen daydreams about making all the
cakes on the menu of Pie in the Sky, the bakery his father had planned to open
before he unexpectedly passed away. The only problem is his mother has laid down
one major rule: the brothers are not to use the oven while she's at work. As Jingwen
and Yanghao bake elaborate cakes, they'll have to cook up elaborate excuses to keep
the cake making a secret from Mama.

In her hilarious, emotional middle-grade debut, Remy Lai delivers a scrumptious
combination of vibrant graphic art and pitch-perfect writing that will appeal to fans of Real Friends.
