ONE HUNDRED SPAGHETTI STRINGS

A poignant middle grade novel for fans of Rebecca Stead and Sarah Weeks. Budding cook Steffy and her moody older sister Nina haven't seen their father in years - not since he left town years before, after Steffy's mother had a car accident which left her with severe brain trauma and unable to care for herself. When he abruptly returns to live with them, displacing their wonderful aunt Gina as their guardian, Steffy's life is thrown into chaos. Her father has no idea how to interact with his daughters, and with both him and Nina finding every excuse not to be home, Steffy is left alone and floundering. Armed with her mother's scrapbook of recipes, Steffy hopes that the food she loves to cook can somehow bring her fractured family together.
