Booktalk #1 Aunt Polly is the Pie Queen of Ipswitch. No one can make a better pie, that’s what Alice thinks of her Aunt Polly’s delicious pies. When Aunt Polly dies, she takes her secret pie crust recipe with her. Well, not quite. Polly’s will states that the recipe belongs to her cat Lardo. The will also says that Lardo now belongs to Alice. How can you leave a recipe to a cat? Many people in town want to be the next big pie contest winner. Everyone is going pie-crazy. Someone is trying to steal the secret pie crust recipe. Lardo’s in danger! Can Alice and her friend Charlie put all the pieces together before it’s too late? (Booktalk written by Susan MacDonald- GSF Committee/Weeks Public Library) Booktalk #2 Do you have a favorite pie that just makes your mouth water whenever you think about it?
