Occasionally, she entertains bakery customers by making her gingerbread men perform, but that’s about all she can do. Mona works in her aunt’s bakery and is perfectly content with her life, using her magical powers (which she considers pretty minor) to encourage her bread to rise and her pastries to turn out perfectly. This sweet fantasy story delivers an unlikely teen heroine, suspenseful action sequences, unusual magical powers, and some very bad cookies. I’d had my eye on this book for a while now, and finally decided to dive in. And in an embattled city suddenly bereft of wizards, the assassin may be the least of Mona’s worries… An assassin is stalking the streets of Mona’s city, preying on magic folk, and it appears that Mona is his next target.
She has a comfortable life in her aunt’s bakery making gingerbread men dance.īut Mona’s life is turned upside down when she finds a dead body on the bakery floor. Her familiar is a sourdough starter and her magic only works on bread. She can’t control lightning or speak to water. Fourteen-year-old Mona isn’t like the wizards charged with defending the city.
