Leila Wayward is a little witch who excels at everything she does. She’s the fastest flier, the most cunning conjuror, and the most superb shape-shifter. She has won trophies for potions, herbology, and alchemy — and now she dreams of winning the Magnificent Witchy Cake-off! As the youngest in a long line of masters of the Dark Arts of Patisserie, Leila wants her entry to be perfect. But even with the most bewitching of recipes, she realizes a terrible truth: she’s a disaster in the kitchen.
Luckily, Leila has three magical sisters who are happy to share their culinary secrets with her. What’s more, Leila discovers that baking with them is fun! Win or lose, she has already tasted the sweetest thing of all: acceptance — with a pinch of nightshade and a bit of mandrake. Flavia Z. Drago — the author of Gustavo, the Shy Ghost — has crafted an enchanting story, filled with expressive and fancifully offbeat illustrations, of trying your hardest despite your imperfections, which is sure to delight little witches and novice bakers alike.
