![]() The only problem is his mother has laid down one major rule: the brothers are not to use the oven while she’s at work. To distract himself from the loneliness, Jingwen daydreams about making all the cakes on the menu of Pie in the Sky, the bakery his father had planned to open before he unexpectedly passed away. School is torture, making friends is impossible since he doesn’t speak English, and he’s often stuck looking after his (extremely irritating) little brother, Yanghao. ![]() When Jingwen moves to a new country (Australia G’day, mate!), he feels like he’s landed on Mars. ![]() Influenced by the author’s own experiences as an immigrant, Pie in the Sky is a heartwarming, funny, and engaging story. Part novel, part graphic novel, this book is a wonderful story about immigration, family, grief, fitting in, and…cake!! So many cakes! Filled with humour like Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and genuine Wonder-like emotions, this touching family drama is a heartfelt treat. Our first book is called Pie in the Sky by Remy Lai. ![]()
