    About this ebook

    Twelve-year-old Evie Carson lives with her mom. In an apartment across the lake, Evie's celebrity-chef dad is starting a new life with his young second wife, Angie, who's expecting twins. To make matters worse, Evie's dad has custody of the beloved family dog. Navigating her new family situation is difficult, and Evie turns to her love of cooking as a way to stay connected to her father. Through cooking classes, Evie finds an unexpected friend in Corey, whose eccentric aunt Shanti might be able to make everyone a little happier. Evie learns to look outside herself, help others, and make friends where she never thought she could (she also learns to make a pretty darn good soufflé!).

      Evie is having trouble dealing with changes. Her parents are divorced. Her dad has remarried and has a new baby on the way. Her neighbor has lost her cat. Her mom is dating. And she is going to cooking class and crushing on her cooking partner. Is she ready for any of this?I enjoyed this book. I liked the recipes and Evie's advice to make the recipes the best they can be. Watching Evie deal with all the changes in her life gives her a universality to which I could relate . None of us like changes, especially when the change is outside of our control. Seeing Evie and Corey together was fun. It reminded me of my crushes at that age. An enjoyable book to curl up with on a summer night.
    • 5/5
      This is my favorite book so far. Eggs over Evie is a story of a little girl who is struggling with her parents divorce. I think that this book would be great for kids who are going through similar situations. Evie is trying to navigate her new life with her new stepmom, twim newborn siblings, and not having her dad around all the time. She is also a little soon to be chef who gives a recipe before each chapter. Its very cute how they mix in her actual story line with fun cooking skills for the reader to try. In the end Evie learns that just like a good recipe with many ingredients, her family is also better with more people to love.

      Sweet book about a girl learning to cope and cook after her semi-famous TV chef dad leaves the family to live across the lake with a new, young wife. Nothing revolutionary, but Evie is a neat kid with a good voice and some original ways of getting through the rough stuff, so she might help a real kid going through the same kinds of things.
