Overview

It’s the summer holidays when a group of classmates turn up at the library at the same time. They know each other, but they’re not friends. The truth is, they each spend a lot of time alone. Which is why it’s so unexpected when Tilly, Jada, Eleanor, and Mateo create a cookie baking business together. It just kind of happens. The problem is their plans keep falling apart. But each failure only makes them more determined to make something - anything - work. Because what they need more than anything is an escape from the loneliness and anxiety that comes with school. They want to be a part of something. And in the end, the one thing that goes right is their decision to count on each other.

""Filled with all of the best ingredients—real and wonderful characters, a fast-paced plot full of humor and heart, truths about life and friendship, and, of course, delicious cookies—this book is one you'll want to devour in one sitting and then savor for years to come. I loved it!"" —Ally Condie, #1 New York Times bestelling author of Matched and Summerlost ""A deliciously warm book from the first to the last line. Ann Dee writes such real, flawed, endearing characters that I never wanted this story to end. A story about how we’re all connected, especially if a library and treats are involved.""—Yamile Saied Méndez, author of The Beautiful Game   ""This is a book about the connectedness of friendship—and more. This is a book about hurt and loneliness—and more. This is a book about hilarious joy—and more. But most of all, this is a book about the courage, growth, and community that comes to a group of kids who face the world together. To read it is a blessing of hope.""—Two-time Newbery Honor winner Gary D. Schmidt
