Sixteen-year-old Wren Callahan has one week to save her family's bakery - and about one weekend to accidentally become a murder suspect.
The Fall Baking Festival is Gull Harbor's biggest event of the year, and this time the stakes are personal: The Second Rise, her parents' bakery, is ninety days from foreclosure, and the junior division's grand prize - a coveted summer apprenticeship - might be the only thing that saves it. All Wren has to do is beat seven other teen bakers, survive a celebrity judge with a reputation for reducing grown pastry chefs to tears, and not have a complete meltdown on camera.
Then the judge eats one of her macarons and drops dead in front of the whole festival.
Suddenly Wren isn't just fighting for a scholarship - she's fighting to clear her name, save her family's business from a scandal that isn't her fault, and figure out which of Gull Harbor's most upstanding citizens is actually a killer. With her best friend, an unreliable town gossip network, and her infuriatingly competent rival-turned-maybe-something-else as her only allies, Wren has to learn the difference between a theory that fits and a theory that's true - before she accuses the wrong person one too many times, and before whoever poisoned Julian Vance decides she's asked one question too many.
Equal parts laugh-out-loud and edge-of-your-seat, The Second Rise is a warmhearted, whip-smart young adult mystery about grief, found family, and the particular chaos of solving a murder while also trying to nail a mirror glaze.
