Book Summary:

When Sofia opens Maddi’s fridge one day, she’s surprised to find… it’s nearly empty. Maddi quietly explains that her family doesn’t have much food, and asks Sofia to keep it a secret. But Sofia can’t stop thinking about her friend’s empty fridge.

Torn between keeping her promise and helping someone she loves, Sofia finds creative ways to bring Maddi food — and learns that friendship, honesty, and action can make a real difference.
