It’s summer in Sand Lake, which means it time to open up Meade Creamery, the best little ice cream shop in town. It also means that, for Amelia and Cate, this summer is supposed to be the best summer of their lives. They have worked at the stand for three years and now it’s their turn to run the stand. Amelia will be Head Girl and will be in charge of the creamery, just like it’s been done decades – an ice cream stand run by all girls since its founder, Molly Meade, started the ice cream stand during WWII. But when Molly Meade passes away right before the stand is scheduled to open, it’s up to Amelia and Cate to find a way to get the ice cream shop up and running or cease to exist. The biggest challenge being that Molly never wrote down the recipe to her ice cream. More changes arrive when Molly’s grandnephew Grady shows up to take ownership of the business. After Grady asks Amelia to help him run the business, Amelia and Cate’s friendship is put to the test. Can she survive the summer with a new boss? Can she recreate Molly’s ice cream recipe? Can she save her friendship with Cate? Will she save Molly Meade Creamery? (Prepared by: Mike LeRoy, Indian Land High School, Michael.LeRoy@lcsd.k12.sc.us) (South Carolina Book Awards, 2020-2021) |
