TITLE: Clever Jack Takes the Cake
AUTHOR: Candace Fleming
YEAR: 2010
This is a great book about a poor boy who gets invited to a princess' birthday party but cannot afford a gift. He sells everything he has to buy ingredients for a cake. He has many adventures on his way to the party that result in his arrival without the cake but with a great tale to tell (which turns out to be a much better gift than the cake). Highly recommended!
