This is an extremely important story about a huge glaring flaw in the justice system in America and this book perfectly explains it for young readers. The important message is interspliced with fun baking shenanigans and lighter messages about friendship. I would not hesitate to recommend this book. The only thing that I wanted more from this book was it to explain why Zoe's mother did what she did, I think her actions could've been fleshed out more to show how different people react to that situation and why she did what she did in more specific terms.
