Precocious and likable Isabel dreams of traveling the world, but for now she's stuck in Oregon, where her motivation-challenged mother is opening a bakery. Isabel's summer quickly fills up as she baby-sits, gets to know her new neighbors, and works on an entry for a kids' baking contest. The hopeful ending is as sweet as the descriptions of baked goods.
