Sizzle tells the story of 14 year old Linda. Linda has always lived with her aunt in Arizona. When Aunt Elba has a stroke, Linda is sent to live with a distant relative in Pittsburgh. Not only are her surroundings different, Aunt Pat has seven kids and cooks only canned or boxed foods, a far cry from the traditional scratch-made Mexican food she's used to. Linda's story is sweet, a tale of finding family and learning to appreciate different kinds of people. It's not a particularly deep story but heart-warming. Plus it includes tips and recipes for making your own, easy, from scratch foods.
This is the book I wish I had this afternoon when I was feeling the need for something a little light. Glad to know about it now!
