Pie in the Sky

Pie in the Sky is Remy Lai’s middle-grade debut about an 11-year-old boy’s immigration experience, his annoying little brother, and their cake-baking hijinks. When Jingwen moves to Australia, he feels like he’s landed on Mars. To distract himself from his loneliness, Jingwen daydreams about making the cakes on the menu of Pie in the Sky, the bakery his father had planned to open before he unexpectedly passed away. Will Jingwen succeed even though his mother has forbidden the brothers to use the oven? This poignant, hilarious mix of text and graphic novel will especially appeal to fans of Jeff Kinney.
