Scrumptious recipes... a family secret... and one smart cookie ready for a challenge!

Mina is excited to start her mentorship at A Batch Made in Heaven, the bakery in her hometown that's famous for their inventive cookies. Mina dreams of becoming a baker herself someday. But there's a problem. Flynn, the (undeniably cute) son of the owner, won't let Mina into the kitchen: the top secret Cookie Vault. If Mina can't bake, then she can't enter the big cookie competition... and if she can't enter, she'll never win the money to help her dad open the restaurant he's always wanted.

What secret is Flynn hiding? And will Mina's entire plan crumble like an overbaked cookie, or can she find a way to help her family and her heart?

      A mentorship at a well-known local bakery, a cute boy, a family secret--and a confident young girl, ready to show the world her baking skills. Seventh grader Mina Kapur, the daughter of Indian immigrants, cannot wait to begin working at a local bakery called A Batch Made in Heaven. However, tensions with the owner's son, a surly, White eighth grader named Flynn, immediately frustrate Mina. While feeling the burden of helping to care for her 12-week-old twin siblings, she focuses on her family's dream of opening a restaurant--her father owned a restaurant in Delhi. The bakery's kitchen, nicknamed the Cookie Vault due to its heavily guarded secret recipes, sets the stage for a storyline that highlights tweenage drama. There is a hot-and-cold relationship with Flynn; disregard for the feelings of her Chinook best friend, Kalli; and living with deceiving her parents about something important--all while Mina's trying to fulfill her dream of winning a baking contest. Another theme in the story involves middle schoolers feeling responsible for the problems of their friends and family and the impact of the stress this brings. Nelson's latest addition to her series of food-focused first-crush titles contains mouthwatering descriptions along with recipes at the end of the book. The Kapur family's Indian identity is primarily signaled through food. Age-appropriate romance with a focus on baking. (Fiction. 8-12)
