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.

“A lively narration by Olivia Campbell captures the voice of twelve-year-old Daisy Bauer as she recounts the ingenious plot,
thought up by her friend Graham, to bust her father out of prison. Campbell’s
youthful and highly modulated voice reveals Daisy’s frustration with her home
life. Conveying spunkiness rather than self-pity, Campbell captures a spirited
girl as she comes to terms with the truth about her father. Her narration offers
vivid portrayals of other characters as well, including Graham’s lisp after he
loses his front teeth and Grandma’s churlishness…Campbell’s sensitive
performance enhances a touching story about friendship and growing up.”
