COME TO OUR
NEW GRAND OPENING!
The grand opening of the Dancing Pancake isn't the only new thing in Bindi's life: new friends, a new apartment, maybe even a cute new crush? But there are other changes, like her dad's move to a new city, that have left Bindi confused and wondering: What will happen to my family? Will this new life ever feel normal? Among the unlikely bunch of regulars who form a makeshift community at the diner, Bindi will try to figure out how to be a new version of herself, one pancake and one silly elephant joke (her uncle's specialty) at a time.
With plenty of surprises, milk shakes, fake spiders, and real feelings, readers are sure to flip for the sweet mix of humor and heart in The Dancing Pancake.
An Excerpt fromThe Dancing Pancake
I am on the front lawn making snow angels with Albert Poole.
This is what I like about Albert: He's not afraid to do "girly" things. He'll bake cookies as quick as toss a football.
He'll tend the African violets in his grandmother's front window as tenderly as a mama cat tends her kittens.
He likes to shop!
What I don't like about Albert is this: He talks about bugs all the time. All. The. Time. He can tell you anything you want to know about horseflies or houseflies or dung beetles or cockroaches.
And me--? I can tell you most anything you want to know about Albert Poole or classic books or the film The Wizard of Oz.
My dad is outside, too. He is dumping two suitcases into the trunk of his car.
I sort of hear him backing out of our driveway and driving off, but I'm not watching. Why should I? Albert Poole and I have snow angels to make, and besides, my father is simply driving to a different city to find a new job. That's all. That's what he said.
That's what Mom said.
That's what they both said.
C'mon, Albert! You have to flap your legs and arms at the same time.
