In this quirky, heartwarming coming-of-age novel, two sisters have their lives changed after winning a national cooking contest that takes them to a new town filled with new adventures—and challenges.

Take two sisters making it on their own: brainy twelve-year-old GiGi and junior-high-dropout-turned-hairstylist DiDi. Add a million dollars in prize money from a national cooking contest and a move from the trailer parks of South Carolina to the North Shore of Long Island. Mix in a fancy new school, a first crush, new friends and enemies, and a generous sprinkling of family secrets.

That’s the recipe for The Truth About Twinkie Pie, a voice-driven middle-grade debut about the true meaning of family and friendship.

Genre:

  • Children's Books
  • Juvenile Fiction
  • Social Themes

  • *"Yeh's characters are full of heart and she perfectly captures the middle school parent-child dynamic."
    Library Media Connection (starred review)
  • "The bouncy voice of protagonist Gigi--aka Galileo Galilei, aka Leia--makes her tale of a move, friendship, crushes, and a mystery about her identity a very easy one to get caught up in."
    Booklist
  • "Filled with enough characters and plot for two novels, Yeh's nimbly voiced, combination fish-out-of-water, personal transformation and emotional family tale is also stuffed with charm."
    Kirkus Reviews
  • "This story will tug at your heart strings and make you hungry at the same time."
    VOYA
  • "Endearing characters will keep readers engaged throughout as more than one character learns the true meaning of family and friendship."
    School Library Journal
