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.⁠

Middle school age girl finally connects with her biological father, who has been in prison since she was born, and when he tells her that he is innocent of the crime he was convinced of, she looks to find way to get him free. Zoe explores her relationship with her former best friend, mother and grandmother as well as develops her love of baking throughout the story.
