This book follows on from the Poppy Pendle books – and again it’s a read I’ve enjoyed as an adult. Cat was born in her mother’s bakery and has inherited the gift of magic. She learns to use this once she’s older but even when she’s young, we hear about how she likes to ‘raid the spice shelf, shaking cinnamon, ginger, and chilli powder into her bowl’. She’d open all her mother’s canisters, spooning in cornmeal and brown sugar. Anything Cat could wrap her tiny hands around she’d use.’ Eventually, Cat can harness her powers for good as she helps out her family and neighbours.
