Lulu Baker finds a magical recipe book that changes her life forever…
The writing is crisp and inventive ... will definitely delight kids captivated by modern fairy tales - Elizabeth Bird, New York Public Library, From School Library Journal
...readers will instantly bond with Lulu, cheering her on and loathing her future stepmother and stepbrother... - Kidsreads.com
...very enjoyable reading about a young strong hearted girl with a New Age cookbook. Overall, I found this book to be very well written and would recommend it for middle school students. Angela Kaczowka, grade 8, Boardman Center Middle School
