Sweet New Middle Grade Series
Since Lucy’s mother died, her father, a university professor, threw himself into his research, and the 12 year old became surrogate parent to her two younger siblings, 10 year old Freddy and 8 year old Herb. Then, out of the blue, their dad announces that one of their mom’s inventions sold for over a million dollars. To fulfill one of their mom’s dreams, their dad bought a used food truck and the Peach family is going to spend the summer together traveling the Midwest selling pies. While Freddy and Herb are excited about the opportunity, Lucy is skeptical. Why is their dad who hasn’t taken a day off in two years suddenly willing to commit a full month to this food truck experiment? Lucy wanted to think positively that the trip might unite them as a family, but it was difficult given their father’s track record.As the Peach family travels from town to town and endure highs and lows running the family business, Downing allows readers to get to know each sibling well. An avid reader, Lucy is determined to read every book on the seventh grade summer reading list and Downing curated a list so amazing, I may adopt it for myself this summer. Lucy is very strong person but assumed the role of problem solver not by choice and her frustration is finally manifesting. Freddy feels he is a plum in a family of Peaches, for his passion is art, creativity, big ideas, and fun facts unlike his siblings and parents. Throughout the Great Peach Experiment, Freddy though emerges as a natural leader and astute businessman. While the youngest, Herb is a math whiz and feels he has a lot of contribute to the family business, but begins to feel restless when he was told he was too young to help bake pies, ingredients for his cinnaballs were too expensive or there wasn’t time to find a place to swim. And while dad believes the main goal is to win top honors at the Ohio Food Truck Festival, Lucy, Freddy, and Herb make him realize that their family is the greatest prize.The Great Peach Experiment is a middle grade novel with both heartache, humor and most importantly, hope. An added bonus were Lucy’s amusing letters to her Great Aunt Lucinda, Freddy’s sketchbook drawing for how he would spend a million dollars, maps, and Herb’s financial updates. Grateful to know that another Peach family adventure awaits in the future. Special thanks to Erin Soderberg Downing for sharing an ARC with my #bookexcursion group.
