Turning thirteen isnât looking lucky for Lizaâand even the kitchen isnât a refugeâin this second book of the Saturday Cooking Club series.
Lizaâs big plans for a small birthday celebration with besties Frankie and Lillian donât stand a chance against a guilt-giving force of nature: her Nana Silver. As the girls attempt to regain control from a grandmother with way-too-grand ideas, they also try to find the right recipes for their own happiness. Frankie decides to remake herself in the image of Lillianâs high-achieving, âperfectâ sister Katy, while Lillian tackles the puzzle of how to understand boys. And Liza whips up plans to use Nanaâs extravagant birthday bash to try get her parents back togetherâdespite the obvious simmering between her mom and Chef.
Can the girls rise to the occasion and salvage Lizaâs party without scorched feelings? Or will turning thirteen be far from a piece of cake?
