Liza Gordon's life is officially over. Her dad is forcing the family to move to a small town in South Carolina to open a gelato shop. Leaving behind her best friends and everything she knows, Liza is thrust into a world of strange new classmates and the overwhelming scent of burnt waffle cones.

Just as she starts to find her footing with a new group of friends and scooping gelato, her dad drops another bombshell: he's leaving to compete in a reality show. Suddenly, Liza is left juggling the shop by herself, her eccentric grandmother, a secret stray cat, and the unwanted attention of the annoying Willis Fant.

From exciting horse riding adventures to nationally televised meltdowns, Liza's new life is anything but sweet. But as the pressure mounts and the cameras roll, she'll have to decide what truly matters... fitting in, or finding her own flavor in a life that's anything but vanilla.
