Everything on a Waffle by Polly Horvath
This was a clear case of the book not living up to the quality of the cover art. I love the picture. The hope and wonder on her face is sweet as pie or waffles. The story though was meandering with random off-shoots which never ended up going anywhere: She was going to learn hockey...nothing. The old lady was having false memories...nothing. Her parents spent a LONG time lost at sea...AND nothing. I think the author was confused about what the book was supposed to be about so she tried many different ideas out and then only wrapped up a couple of them.
