The Thing About Leftovers

(3) 4-6 After her parents' acrimonious divorce, twelve-year-old Fizzy has a new school, a new home, and two new stepparents; everyone "starting fresh" makes Fizzy feel like "a leftover." The Southern Living Cook-Off taps into her culinary passions and gingerly provides a poignant metaphor for Fizzy's believable emotional journey. With a bag of unexpected ingredients, Fizzy ultimately creates something original--and delicious.
