Bookroo's summary

GiGi and DiDi's world flips when they win a million-dollar cooking contest, moving from South Carolina to Long Island. As GiGi navigates a new school, first crushes, and unexpected friendships, family secrets bubble to the surface. Can the sisters hold onto each other amidst the whirlwind of change and discovery? Dive into a tale where the true meaning of family and friendship is tested and revealed.

From the publisher

There’s something about asking for Impossible Things. For one little second, they feel Possible. Take two sisters making it on their own: brainy twelve-year-old GiGi and junior-high-dropout-turned-hairstylist DiDi. Add a million dollars in prize money from a national cooking contest and a move from the trailer parks of South Carolina to the North Shore of Long Island. Mix in a fancy new school, new friends and enemies, a first crush, and a generous sprinkling of family secrets. That’s the recipe for The Truth About Twinkie Pie, a voice-driven middle-grade debut about the true meaning of family and friendship.
