The librarian recommends: Would you leave a valuable recipe to your pet? “Pie” by Sarah Weeks features a great mystery about a famous pie crust recipe that fell into the paws of a not so nice cat named Lardo. This book is funny and enjoyable all the way through. The characters are lovable, and it is a quick read for ages 8 to 12. It also may leave you wanting to bake a pie, Librarian Lexy Rodriguez said.
