STAY SWEET by Siobhan
Vivian is the innocent, gentle read you would expect from the cover. This story
is just as wholesome as the homemade ice cream sold at Meade Creamery where
Amelia has been chosen to be the new Head Girl (manager) during the summer
before she leaves for college. It’s not quite the Sand Lake summer she and her
bubbly best friend Cate expected though, due to the surprising death of Molly
Meade, the WWII era founder and supporter of the all-girl work force. Molly’s
great nephew, Grady, inherits the business and sets out to change some of its
long standing traditions. As they
confront differences and problems, he and Amelia both mature, learn to work
together and find romance. STAY
SWEET received a starred review from Publishers Weekly:
“While evoking the warmth of rural life and employee comradeship, Vivian writes
an empowering novel for young women with big dreams.” Perfectly delicious for a
restful and undemanding summer read for middle school and early high school
readers.
