Baker's Magic Paperback – February 1, 2017

Great novel! My two girls, 7&10, really enjoyed it and both were able to ready it on their own. If your kids like baking and HarryPotter/Nevermore/fantasy, this is a great pick.

I read this to my kids (9, 7, 4) and it was a great family read aloud. It is a fun adventure.

I was afraid this would be a bit twee, because I've encountered a few "magic bakery" tales that were on the Harlequin Romance side of the ledger. Well, not to worry. Our heroine is solid and grounded, the supporting characters have a bit of edge, the adventure is ripping, and the narration is sly and clever. This was a nice find about friendship, adventure, and just a touch of subtle magic.

My daughter really liked how Bee found that Bartholomew was her father. She liked that Bee took chances.

But I felt like once I reached the middle of the story that this book would never end. The author did write a satisfying ending to the book though it felt like it took forever to get there.

This is a really delightful book -perfect for middle grade readers and kids interesting in magic worlds and adventures!

Really cute story! :-)

An entertaining fairytale type adventure story with an assortment of characters along for the ride. Comes complete with the recipe for tasty sounding buns, at the end.

Princess's, pirates, magic and baking. What more could you possibly want in a book? I utterly adored this. Each page warmed my heart and made me stupidly happy. Despite this being a middle grade book, I enjoyed each and every moment. I would have LOVED reading this as a child, just as I loved reading it at the age of 19.There are so many lovely messages hidden within this one story. Bee's form of magic is such a wonderful concept, a really unique idea that fit flawlessly with the story. I loved watching Bee's various relationship's unfold, especially with Master Bouts. I found myself really warming to the characters and enjoying their development throughout the story. They had a real depth to them that I wasn't expecting from a middle grade novel. There were so many individual stories and messages wrapped in this one book, each as wonderful as the last. Yet, there wasn't ever any confusion or feeling that there was too much going on. The writing in this was gorgeous and the descriptions of the baked goods quite literally made me hungry, every few pages I found myself with a sudden urge to bake.Wonderful characters, brilliant writing and a captivating story. Bakers Magic is simply gorgeous.
