# Ready, Set, Dough! - Hardcover

by **Kelly J. Baptist** (Author)

**From Kelly J. Baptist, the award-winning author of _Isaiah Dunn Is My Hero_, comes a story about Zoe Sparks, an over-enthusiastic cookie-dough seller who wishes to win a laptop from her school fundraiser. Of course, there's unexpected competition, bad music, strained friendships, and over-the-top ideas that go horribly wrong.**

Spunky sixth-grader Zoe Sparks has discovered a unique way to get the laptop of her dreams--to win it! If Zoe can sell more tubs of cookie dough than anyone in her school, the laptop is hers. It's the first step to becoming a prize-winning journalist! But her win-at-all-costs attitude is starting to drive a wedge between Zoe, her best friend Felix, and her family. Zoe may be a top cookie-dough seller in her class, but is winning the prize really worth it?
