In this realistic fiction, Zoe struggles to free her father, serving a sentence in prison for a crime he never committed, a disagreement with her best friend, and a desire to be on the Kid\u2019s Bake Challenge television show.<\/p>\n<h2>From the Desk of Zoe Washington Summary<\/h2>\n<p>For Zoe\u2019s 12<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;birthday, she and a group of her friends go to Ari\u2019s Cakes to bake cupcakes. When Zoe gets home, she finds a letter from her biological dad who is in prison. This is a real shock for Zoe as she has never heard from Marcus before. Zoe runs up to her room to read the letter in private. He addresses her \u201cMy Little Tomato\u201d and talks about music, specifically Stevie Wonder.<\/p>\n<p>Grandma, who stays with Zoe while her parents are at work, takes Zoe to the library. There Zoe researches and discovers that many innocent people have been sent to prison. Zoe is surprised at the news. Trevor comes into the library. Finally, Zoe tells him that she overheard him telling Sean and Lincoln that Zoe wasn\u2019t his friend. He apologizes and says he didn\u2019t mean it. He was just trying to fit in. This is the start of them becoming friends again.<\/p>\n<p>Grandma sees a letter addressed to Marcus when Zoe accidentally drops it on her way to the mailbox. The two sit down and talk. Grandma says she will help Zoe write to Marcus as long as the letters come to her house and she reads them first.<\/p>\n<p>Zoe and Marcus begin talking on the phone. Marcus hesitates when Zoe asks for the name of his alibi. Zoe pushes Marcus to tell her what she wants to know.&nbsp; Marcus explains that he fought really hard the first years he was in prison but now has accepted his fate. He says he will be eligible for parole in 13 more years. Finally, Marcus gives Zoe the name of the witness \u2013 Susan Thomas.<\/p>\n<p>With Trevor to help, Zoe sets off to find the only person that can help free her dad.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
