If shes not writing fan letters to her favorite celebrity chefs, shes practicing recipes on her well-meaning, if overworked, mother.
But when Ellie and her mom move so they can help take care of her ailing grandpa, Ellie has to start all over again in a new town at a new school. Except shes not just the new kidshes the new kid in the wheelchair who lives in the trailer park on the wrong side of town.
