So why is she the one he can talk to about his deep, dark feelings? If Em is going to get her dream man, she

GUEST AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: The Graham Cracker Plot by Shelley Tougas

Author: Shelley Tougas Read By: Olivia Campbell Published: September 9, 2014 By: Penguin Audio/Listening Library (Audio); Unabridged edition  Amazon | Goodreads   Meet Daisy Bauer and her sometimes best friend, Graham, who are determined to break Daisy's dad out of prison in this hilarious middle-grade debut. No one believes her, but Daisy Bauer knows her dad has been wrongfully imprisoned and that it's up to her to break him out of jail (aka Club Fed). She has a plan that she's calling the Graham Cracker Plot because it was all Graham's idea. She just needs a miniature horse, a getaway truck, and a penny from 1919--the idea coin.  This funny, nail-biter of a novel is about friendship and admitting you're wrong. Debut novelist Shelley Tougas balances humor and warmth against themes of family, broken trust, and unconditional love against all odds. *Audiobook provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review*  ~ Interview with
