Eleven-year-old Mia can always be found in the kitchen. Her love of cooking comes from her Barbadian grandma, who came to Britain many years ago. But Grandma Rose has never been back to her home country.

At school, Mrs Clack's history class is interrupted by the rumbling tummies of Mia's friends. That gives Mia a great idea! She creates Cherry Snaps, a healthy sweet treat that will stop the pupils feeling hungry. Mia sells her tray bake in school, hoping the profits will pay for her grandma's holiday. At first, the Cherry Snaps are snapped up by the students. But Mia's booming business is soon shut down by Mr Beecher the headteacher. Thankfully, she's given one more chance to pitch her product.

Calling on local cafe owner, Mr Morelli, for advice, will Mia persuade Mr Beecher? With the support of her friends, Femi, Kyra and Jesse, can she save her brand new business? And will Mia's Cherry Snaps make Grandma's dream come true?
