Emily and her aunt Gina have a special gift. They can bake magical treats, which make people feel better. The one rule - you can't bake when you're feeling bad.Which Emily does after her Aunt dies. She's drowning in grief. Baking helps her feel better. But the outcome is bad: the bake is terrible but people can't stop eating...
My Thoughts: I really liked this graphic novel. Of course, I loved baking and the magical elements. That would be such a cool bakery to frequent. I felt terrible about Emily losing her Aunt. The bakery clearly struggles; Emily's mom runs the business part of the bakery. I bake when I'm stressed, so I understand how Emily can't stop baking even though it's not helping. Grief is a tricky emotion to handle - but I felt bad for Emily that her mother wasn't able to help her. Her mother was barely able to help herself.

I really like books about baking too. And the magic makes it even better. Thanks for sharing this book this week.
The idea of mixing grief with baking is clever. It looks like a meaningful but still grabbing read.
I know a few young bakers who I could recommend this to. Thanks for telling us about the story on this week's MMGM!
