Middle grade, magical cake baking tale for an easy, quick read #prettybooks

I'm off work today, but I've been getting ready for a new library program by reading middle-grade books about food. Picking a new theme each month is forcing me to fulfill my resolution of reading more middle grade this year to up my readers' advisory skills!

I think this is aimed at younger readers but it was 50p in a charity shop and too pretty to leave behind #TBRsomeday

The way the perspectives came together was interesting but I don't think this will be very sought after in my classroom library. #TeachersofLitsy

I love the recipes sprinkled in throughout this #middlegrade book! A few of my students would really enjoy that! However, the alternating perspectives is proving to be a lot to keep track of. #TeachersofLitsy

Magical realism with baking? Count me in 😊🍰🎂 #middlegrade

We start our middle school independent reading program in January, so I am trying to up my consumption of middle grade books... normally I gravitate towards the young adult titles but I've got to be able to recommend books to about 300 middle schoolers for the rest of the year. My job is seriously the best!
