Synopses & Reviews
Dessert Schneider has her very own personal style. But sometimes walking to the beat of her own drum means walking right into a heap of mischief, especially when it comes to the legendary family recipe (and Dessertand#8217;s all-time favorite treat), Grandma Reineand#8217;s Double-Decker Chocolate Bars. As the oldest in a rambunctious, restaurant-owning family of six, Dessert seems to be better at getting into trouble than getting out of it. And thatand#8217;s because, for this eight-year-old, saying sorry is definitely not a piece oand#8217;cake! In a starred review andlt;Iandgt;Publishers Weekly andlt;/Iandgt;writes, "Readers will be left craving a second helping." Look to the right for more on book two!

Life is sweet.... Well, almost.
Dessert Schneider has her very own personal style.For starters, she signs her name like this:
Dessert

But sometimes walking to the beat of her own drum means walking right into a heap of mischief, especially when it comes to the legendary family recipe (and Dessert's all-time favorite chocolate treat), Grandma Reine's Double-Decker Chocolate Bars. As the oldest child in a rambunctious, restaurant-owning family, Dessert seems to be better at getting into trouble than getting out of it. And that's because for this eight-year-old, saying sorry is definitely not a piece o' cake
