"Fans of the series will not be disappointed with this installment. With four effervescent heroines, several budding romances, an ambitious cooking venture, and a hefty pinch of drama, Pies has instant teen appeal. . . . With interesting facts about Austen interspersed throughout, and a visit to relevant sites in England incorporated, this book makes an excellent introduction to one of the most masterfuland popularwriters of all time. Dont be surprised if 12-year-olds start checking out Pride & Prejudice after reading this teen-tailored adaptation."
