Publisher Description
Fourteen-year-old Mona isn't like the wizards charged with defending the city. She can't control lightning or speak to water. Her familiar is a sourdough starter and her magic only works on bread. She has a comfortable life in her aunt's bakery making gingerbread men dance.
But Mona's life is turned upside down when she finds a dead body on the bakery floor. An assassin is stalking the streets of Mona's city, preying on magic folk, and it appears that Mona is his next target. And in an embattled city suddenly bereft of wizards, the assassin may be the least of Mona's worries...

See AllBaking is often magic
Yeast is a living thing, and dough is magic—ask anyone who’s learnt to bake bread.
I love Bob. I love the gingerbread man who becomes more than just a trick.
I love Mona for who she is and who she becomes—and who she does not.
More from this world, please! Too much whimsey to enjoy here to spend it all on one novel.
A joy to read

A great deal of fun and yet very thoughtful
Pitch perfect, with humor and heart. What does it mean to be a hero?
