Posy Peyton doesn't want to move, but instead of letting her sit around and mope, her friends convince her to plan a "Good-Pie Party," in which everyone will bring pies to say goodbye to Posy's family. Soon the three friends are elbow-deep in ingredients, making pies -- and one of their last memories together.
While I loved the idea of a whole party revolving around pies, this book didn't totally come together for me. The illustrations looked lumpy and washed-out, and nothing was truly resolved regarding the main issue of the girls being separated, making the story itself feel unfinished. Still, it was nice to see something positive coming out of a difficult situation, and it may lend some solace to students who have to move away.
