PIE, by Sarah Weeks
When Alice’s Aunt Polly passes away, she takes with her the secret to her world-famous pie-crust recipe. Or does she?

Suddenly Alice is thrust into the center of a piestorm, with everyone in town trying to be the next pie-contest winner, including Alice’s mother and some of Alice’s friends. The whole community is going pie-crazy, and it’s up to Alice to discover the ingredients that really matter.
