Hiding Out at the Pancake Palace
Hiding Out at the Pancake Palace | Nan Marino
2 posts | 2 read
In Hiding Out at the Pancake Palace by Nan Marino, eleven-year-old musical prodigy, Elvis Ruby, was supposed to win the most coveted reality show on television, Tween Star. None of the other contestants even came close to his talents. But in the middle of the biggest night, with millions of people watching, Elvis panicked. He forgot the words to the song. He forgot the tune. He forgot how to play every single instrument he'd ever known and froze on national TV. So Elvis must run from the paparazzi camped outside his door and spend the summer working with his aunt and cousin at Piney Pete's Pancake Palace in the remote wilds of New Jersey. It's the perfect place to be anonymous, that is until Elvis meets Cecilia, a girl who can't seem to help blurting out whatever's on her mind. An NPR Best Book of 2013

Rediscovering “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” & loving every moment.

Jerry Seinfeld (while eating breakfast with Jimmy Fallon): “What you want in a pancake is to have the consistency of young human flesh.”

ThatBookishGal My hubby and I love watching that show at night as we are getting ready to sleep! The coffee always looks amazing!!! 6y
monalyisha @ThatBookishGal Right?! We watch it with dinner sometimes & it‘s a little masochistic because that‘s not the right time for coffee. 6y

neet_reads I love that you said technically. I say the same when people want to know more about my younger sisters 6y
DebinHawaii Hah! Love your word! 🐻🤣 6y
monalyisha @Bookworm22 I had a professor in college who‘d give us vocab words every Friday. One week, she included that gem. It‘s not something you easily forget. 😆 (edited) 6y
monalyisha @neet_reads My brothers are 7 & 8 years younger than me, but we grew up together, & I‘m closer with “their” dad (my stepdad) than I am my own. It‘s more about experience than blood. I‘m actually officiating my oldest little bro‘s wedding this summer! 😱 6y
Bookworm22 @monalyisha that's even better that they taught you that in class 🤣 6y
Eggs Thanks for the tag💕 6y
RohitSawant Great answers! & 7 😂 6y
readordierachel Now I want pancakes... 6y
monalyisha @ReadOrDieRachel I always want pancakes. And eggs. And Bloody Marys. And home fries. Breakfast truly is the most important meal of the day... 6y
Eggs @monalyisha You want me!! That's so sweet 😂😂 That's part of the reason for my handle-I love eggs, eating them, have an egg collection (objet), and my last name of course. Eggs, bacon, pancakes 🤤 6y
monalyisha @Eggs I actually almost tagged you instead of writing the word out but I was worried that might be creepy. 😅 Glad to know I have clearance to do so in the future! (Also, I love that you have an egg collection. Quirkiest collection ever? That‘s probably an overstatement but it‘s still fantastic.) 6y
