Plot Summary: This is a dessert cookbook for teenagers written by teenagers.  Over 75 desserts are included and 120 color photographs of the recipes. 
Critical Evaluation:  Since this book is written by teens for teens, it is a great cookbook for teenagers to use.  Megan and Jill Carle know what teens are thinking when they cook, and they write the cookbook in a way that teens can easily understand.  It has simple step-by-step instructions for all of the recipes.  They even include a short introductory into what equipment and kinds of ingredients will be needed before you start baking.
