Bite-Sized Magic (Bliss Bakery Trilogy, 3) [Paperback] Littlewood, Kathryn and McGuire, Erin

This third book in Kathryn Littlewood's acclaimed Bliss trilogy mixes the down-home heart punch of Ingrid Law's Newbery Honor Book Savvy, the always-on-the-edge-of-chaos comedy of Cheaper by the Dozen, and a humorous magic all its own to create a thoroughly original confection, a delicious guilty pleasure for readers of all ages.

Rose won back her family's magical Cookery Booke in an international baking competition in A Dash of Magic, the second novel in the series. Rose is now world famous―so famous, in fact, that Mr. Butter, head of the Mostess Corporation, has kidnapped her so that she can develop new and improved magical recipes for his company's snack cakes. With the magically enhanced Dinkies and Moony Pies, Mr. Butter plans to take over the world.

Together with her brothers, their talking cat and mouse, and an unlikely team of bakers, Rose must overthrow Mr. Butter before he destroys civilization, one magically evil snack cake at a time.

With the world’s worst boss and an army of snack-cake-addicted zombies on the rise, can Rose cook her way out of this one?

• Magical Baking: Rose must use her family’s enchanted Cookery Booke to turn Mr. Butter’s evil snack cake recipes upside down.
• Kidnapping Adventure: Trapped inside the sinister Mostess Corporation factory, Rose has to outwit her captors and find a way to save her family.
• Talking Animals: An unlikely rescue mission comes from her sarcastic talking cat, Gus, and a brave, flute-playing mouse named Jacques.
• Unlikely Allies: To take down the evil corporation from the inside, Rose must team up with her troublemaking brothers and a crew of brainwashed bakers.
