I really enjoyed From the Desk of Zoe Washington by Janae Marks. ⁠
Zoe just turned twelve, and she's planning to become the star baker on the Kids Bake Challenge. She doesn't expect to get a letter from the father who had been in prison all her life. Or to find out he may not have committed the crime. This heartfelt middle grade novel is about life, lies, and finding the truth even when it might get you in trouble.⁠
