Description
What Happens When You Combine Baking and Magic? Cat Anderson will tell you all about it!
Cat Anderson doesn't want much out of life. Give her a circle of friends to giggle with, a few boys to flirt with, a cute outfit, and she is good to go! She especially could care less about food.
But food, it turns out, is a very big deal.
In Cat's family there is a secret too fantastic to be real.
Something happens when Cat bakes.
Something amazing.
Something impossible.
Can it be true? Or is it Bake Believe?
Advance Praise
"A book that early-teen readers will absolutely devour."
Some people eat their feelings, but fourteen-year-old Cat Anderson bakes them... literally! This peppy tale begins on the most epic last day of summer vacation. Cat and her bestie/cousin have a big day planned that revolves around sunshine, awesome hair, and boys. Everything is falling into place until the most unexpected thing happens. Eager to spend some one-on-one time with a super-cute boy named Tobey, Cat and Tobey venture into the new bakery in town and the results not only alter Cat's perspectives, but totally change her life.
With a charming story and authentically crafted characters, Bake Believe is a book that early-teen readers will absolutely devour! Cori Cooper truly understands and speaks to her audience in this snapshot of teen life. The story is so much more than just teen angst and a lust for freedom. The ability to alter people's thoughts with a chocolate chip cookie is quirky and whimsical. And just in case the story isn't exciting enough, the author drops in recipes to complement the scenes.
Bake Believe will help cement a love of reading for teens at such an impressionable time in their lives. There is a subtle moral lesson running through the story that helps transform Cat from a selfish girl to a more thoughtful young woman. These ideas are powerful and important for readers, and are delivered in an easy to digest package. If you love to bake with love or if you remember what it was like to be a teenager, you'll love joining Cat as she learns how to Bake Believe.
