Mum hugged Anwen and Alex. Fighting back tears, she said, “We just loved doing what we did. It’s been an amazing chocolate cake summer.”
“Sure has,” Alex agreed.
Who’d have thought a simple chocolate cake could cause such a transformation in a neighbourhood of people who scarcely knew each other? And who’d have thought that a simple chocolate cake could enable a friendship between Alex, a thirteen-year-old immigrant, and his tormentor, West Line College’s resident bully, Fish. Who is the mysterious and light-fingered Miss Hartley who lives in the street but never comes to cake-time? Alex’s sister Anwen and her friend Theo secretly set out to find out.
“An Amazing Chocolate Cake Summer” is an entertaining story with real heart that tells of the power of generosity with no thought of reward.
