A Brief Word From Your Teacher: I finished reading this book to my 4th grade class today.  They really enjoyed it.  In Pie, a small town is dealing with the aftermath of the death of Polly.  Polly owned the local pie shop and has the record for winning more Blueberry Awards than anybody else in history.  Everybody in town is missing Polly's pies, but nobody seems to be missing Polly herself besides her niece Alice.  Alice and her best friend Charlie are on a mission to uncover the truth about the adults in town who seem to stop and nothing to be the next Blueberry Award winner.

Though the main character in this book is a young girl, the boys in my class enjoyed this book too.  This is a cute story about friendship that has many funny parts including a scene with a cat that appears to be drunk.
