The Pancake Trap

Join Maple and Margaret Sanford in The Pancake Trap as they learn that differences can be strengths, change can reveal who we truly are, and that love is thicker than batter.



Maple and Margaret Sanford might be sisters, but they couldn’t be more different. Ten-year-old Maple is a pancake-obsessed griddle cook determined to save their grandma’s failing restaurant, Dot’s Diner. Margaret is a college-bound beauty queen who can’t wait for their mom to sell the run-down restaurant. On the last day before Dot’s Diner will be sold to the town’s multimillionaire mogul, the girls are thrown into a dangerous food-themed treasure hunt, looking for gold left by runaway outlaw Crispy Cruller. Joined by a trusty friend, helpful robot drone, and adorable pup, Maple and Margaret will dive deep into the twisted caves and caverns underneath their town facing one syrup-sticky flapjack trap after another. With nothing more than their grandma’s cookbook clues to guide them, will the Sanford Sisters be able to put their differences aside, find the loot, and save Dot’s Diner before it’s too late?
