Resumen del Editor

From debut author Janae Marks comes a captivating story full of heart, as one courageous girl questions assumptions, searches for the truth, and does what she believes is right - even in the face of great opposition.

Zoe Washington isn’t sure what to write. What does a girl say to the father she’s never met, hadn’t heard from until his letter arrived on her 12th birthday, and who’s been in prison for a terrible crime?

A crime he says he never committed.

Could Marcus really be innocent? Zoe is determined to uncover the truth. Even if it means hiding his letters and her investigation from the rest of her family. Everyone else thinks Zoe’s worrying about doing a good job at her bakery internship and proving to her parents that she’s worthy of auditioning for Food Network’s Kids Bake Challenge.

But with bakery confections on one part of her mind, and Marcus’s conviction weighing heavily on the other, this is one recipe Zoe doesn’t know how to balance. The only thing she knows to be true: Everyone lies.

"When Marcus tells Zoe he is innocent, and her grandmother agrees, Zoe begins to learn about inequality in the criminal justice system, and she sets out to find the alibi witness who can prove his innocence." (Publishers Weekly, "An Anti-Racist Children's and YA Reading List")

My whole family loved this book

We listened to it in a road trip - I laughed and cried. It is a sweet book and a very important message for kids to hear. I’d like another book that delves even deeper into this issue for kids to learn more. Thank you for this book.

Great story

Relevant topic with a wonderful reader. It’s important to put it down on
paper the experiences we have endured in America.

Fantastic story

This book left me on the edge of my seat! I highly recommend it to anyone who is concerned with social justice. It's a great way to introduce kids to the concept of racism and the flawed prison system in the US.

Beautiful Story!

This book made me tear up on three separate times. With a combination of friendship, cupcakes, and a 12 year old’s investigation into her father’s guilt in prison, it’s sweet, genuine, and inspiring. If only there were more people as brave and persistent as Zoe Washington.
