Much to their surprise, the Peaches had a great summer running their food truck business selling their pies across the Mid-West, but they're happy to be back home in Duluth, Minnesota. That is until Great Aunt Lucinda decides to gift them her historic mansion. But there are conditions: they're to turn it into a cozy and welcoming bed-and-breakfast, and they only have until Thanksgiving to do prove they can make the business work. It looks like it's a new chapter of The Great Peach Experiment.
But as the Peaches roll up their sleeves, they quickly realize the house is more of a pit than a welcoming escape. As the family juggles builders, possible hauntings, doggie obedience training, a treasure hunt, and more, they soon realize there are wonderful secrets hidden within the house's walls, if only they can take the time to see them.
Interspersed with sketches, recipes, lists, and more, The Peach Pit is a delicious sequel to When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Peach Pie, combining humor, heartache, a little mystery, and a lot of love, to build another incredible read.
"A hilarious and heartwarming series of events as the family works to make the request a reality. . . . Freddy's black-and-white drawings, sketches, recipes, and lists of renovation projects . . . add humor and personality. While this is a sequel to When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Peach Pie, the book stands well on its own. . . . Hand to fans of the Vanderbeekers and other quirky family stories."--School Library Journal
