Join us for a kid-friendly reading & signing event with local author Laura Anne Bird, sharing Marvelous Jackson in conversation with Sally Collins, author of Muddled Cherries. There will be cupcakes, crafts, & fun conversation for the whole family. About the Book
After losing his mom, a struggling thirteen-year-old boy in northern Wisconsin rediscovers the love of baking he once shared with her and decides to audition for the world-famous Marvelous Midwest Kids Baking Championship television show in Chicago. Jack is sure that his new sense of purpose will help him stay out of trouble, so he throws himself into learning the finer points of sprinkles and scones—and hopefully even mending his broken relationship with his dad.
