- Summary:
-
No one understands Jingwen. Literally. Making friends is impossible, since he doesn't speak English, and he's stuck looking after his annoying little brother, Yanghao. But Jingwen knows how to make everything better. If he can just bake all of the cakes on the menu of the bakery his father had planned to open -- and complete the dream he didn't have time to finish -- then everything will be okay. Sure, he'll have to break his mother's most important rule about not using the oven when she's at work, keep his little brother from spilling his secret and brush up on his kitchen skills, but some things are worth the risk.
