The Power of Poppy Pendle

Ten-year-old Poppy, born to ordinary parents, inherits her famous Great Aunt Mabel’s genes — GAM was a famous witch. In Poppy’s world, witches work for good and are much valued, with powers both coveted and praised. But Poppy does not want to be a witch — she wants to be a baker, and she is extremely good at baking. Her parents insist Poppy follow in the footsteps of her great aunt, but Poppy has plans of her own.

Part magic, part adventure, and wholly delicious, this spirited story includes more than a dozen recipes readers — and budding bakers — can try at home.
