![]() ![]() I’m a big fan of small magical talents – Bee’s is that she can bake her feelings into her food (sort of the opposite of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake). Her experiences in the bakery are wonderful, and I love what this book has to say about found family. Bee, our protagonist, teams up with the displaced princess and the blacksmith’s son, not to mention a feisty pirate queen and her crew, to save the day and also make some very tasty baked goods. This book is so very cute! It’s set in a sort of fantasy version of the Netherlands, and a lot of the bad guy’s scheme is centred around control of tulips, to the detriment of the people he rules over (he’s a Wizard Regent, having usurped power from the young princess). Ownership: Library, but I will pick this up to keep at some point. ![]() Read before: I attempted to get an ebook earlier this year, but couldn’t make it work! I particularly love MG books with a girl character discovering a magic talent, so when I spotted Baker’s Magic at the library, I grabbed it! I read a fair amount of middle grade fantasy – I find it just as well-written as books for older audiences, but without the pressure to be ‘edgy’, which often makes it a gentler, more fun read. ![]()
