To Have and to Kill LP: A Wedding Cake Mystery (Wedding Cake Mysteries) ReviewMary Jane Clark comes up with a great recipe for this murder mystery as the murderer certainly wasn't the one I thought it was !
Clark keeps the reader guessing as Piper, a struggling actress who is trying to get over a broken engagement and moves back in with her parents, to get her life back together joins in the family cake decorating/baking business. When she agrees to do the cake for a television star, life gets mighty interesting in the kitchen.
I liked the book; sure, it wasn't intense, but I read it for the sheer enjoyment of her writing style. The only thing that would have made the book even better would have been if Piper, the main character, and Jack (the handsome FBI Agent) had gotten together. They are friends, but if they had gotten together as a real couple in the end it would have been a nice ending.
My wife is anxious to try Piper's "Simple Buttercream Icing" recipe for the wedding cake that was included in the book. Also, I thought it was interesting that Piper was using Twitter -- looks like Clark is interested in showing that she's "with it" ! (smile)
An easy read because the chapters are short which enables readers to put it down and pick it back up. A good book that is enjoyable and will keep your interest.To Have and to Kill LP: A Wedding Cake Mystery (Wedding Cake Mysteries) Overview

The Burning Jacket ReviewOf the three main characters in this book I was able to identify best with the oldest one because of her alternative life style, and secondly with the youngest one, even though I am closest in age to the middle one. I enjoyed the various themes Nel touches on, including deforestation, modern terrorism, the elderly, and broken homes. Also, being a dog lover I was happy to have dogs be a definite part of the story. It was a very engrossing read and I have recommended it to all my reader friends.The Burning Jacket Overview

Fiscal Pear & Shimmer in The Call of River Whale ReviewIn this adorable read we meet our two very interesting main characters, Fiscal Pear, who is of course a pear, but one who has grown arms and legs, and Shimmer, a lightning bug. Sounds like a strange duo? Hold on you haven't heard anything yet.
As we begin the story we are told of a little village that has several bakeries, The Bakery of Apples, The Bakery of Blueberries, the Bakery of Cherries, the Bakery of Peaches, and the Bakery of Pears. Everyday they make delicious bake good for the villagers, but there is one problem. The evil owner of the Bakery of Pears is not happy when all of her customers pass her by for the other Bakeries. What will this evil baker do?
She decides that something must be done and she gets in touch with the very evil, Butt Rott Root. The name alone should send shivers down your spine. This evil slimy thing teams up with, Cutter, his name describes him quite well, and devises a plan, that includes kidnapping Fiscal Pear, to put all the other Bakeries out of business. Now the adventure beings.
I have to say that our author has let her imagination go wild in this wonderful book, and the reader will be pulled into her world of fantasy. The storyline is quick moving, sure to keep any readers attention, and the characters are both good and evil, endearing and frightening. There is a hint of mystery as the story moves along, as all of your questions on just why Fiscal Pear has arms and legs, and what his purpose is in the world is is not answered, at least not in this book. Good touch. There is adventure, friendship, excitement all merging with just the right mix to make one enjoyable read.
I loved this book. It is definitely different, imaginative, and one that will hold your attention from beginning to end. Great book! Highly recommended.Fiscal Pear & Shimmer in The Call of River Whale Overview

Bake Sale ReviewSara Varon's "Bake Sale" is a 158 pages graphic novel that probably best for older children who could use their parents' kitchens to try out the recipes listed in the back. Actually there are eight recipes, two of them for frosting but only one has a separate listing. The recipes themselves are shows in two places -- either we see Cupcake making them and commenting on their ease or difficulty, or we see them at least mentioned in the story.
The story of Cupcake, his bakeshop and his quest to go with his friend Eggplant to meet a famous baker is the basic tale. Through this we see how small bakeries operate, how creative small business owners struggle to be, and how the person behind that morning coffee or cookie we may treat ourselves to might live beyond their store. Cupcake's emotions and life seem honest if a bit freaky.
Freaky because Varon has created a world in which food is the dominant lifeform. This is freaky on three levels. First, our main characters do not have real names, only what they are -- Eggplant, Cupcake, Potato, Sugar -- and so forth. Apparently there are many of the same kind of food and yet other names are never given. Second, these food people run the full gambit from living veggies and fruits to processed food like Sugar and Turkish Delight. Finally the most freakish aspect is that living food eats, grows, process, and cooks with food. It felt similar to a book about cannibals.
That is likely just me as an adult talking, I but most kids under the age of 12 could just see past that but don't be surprised if sensitive children are confused.Bake Sale Overview

Bliss (Bliss Bakery) ReviewI often grab a middler's novel from the children's section of the library just for the fun of reading it. I can read it quickly and it doesn't tax my brain with multiple sub-plots to keep track of. A good novel for the eight to twelve year olds has a good plot, believable characters, and is just plain fun. "Bliss" by Kathryn Littlewood meets my qualifications.
The story centers around Rosemary (Rose) Bliss and her siblings, Parsley (Leigh), Thyme (Ty), and Sage, as they tend to the family bakery for a week while their parents leave town on an emergency. The bakery is known for magical delights that have curing powers. When Aunt Lily shows up unexpectedly and the children decide to experiment with some of the recipes in the family's Cookery Book, the results aren't quite as they expected.
Although Rose and her brothers and sister are part of a magical family, they are as ordinary as can be. Any twelve-year-old girl will relate to Rose and her feelings of inadequacies -- all girls go through that phase. Baby Leigh is about preschool age and very typical. The boys, Ty and Sage, well, their mischievous brothers. Rose is bothered by Aunt Lily's sudden appearance and doesn't quite know what to do about her.
The Bliss children's capers with the recipes from the Cookery book are chaotic and delightful. They have only a few days to undue the calamities before their parents return home. Aunt Lily isn't really all that much help.
I also look for books for my middler granddaughters that don't focus on romance. There are far too many for that age group. I want them to have fun reading. Again "Bliss" fills that need for me. As I'm on the lookout, Ms. Littlewood's books will be at the top of my list.Bliss (Bliss Bakery) Overview
Rosemary Bliss's family has a secret. It's the Bliss Cookery Booke—an ancient, leather-bound volume of enchanted recipes like Stone Sleep Snickerdoodles and Singing Gingersnaps. Rose and her siblings are supposed to keep the Cookery Booke under lock and whisk-shaped key while their parents are out of town, but then a mysterious stranger shows up. "Aunt" Lily rides a motorcycle, wears purple sequins, and whips up exotic (but delicious) dishes for dinner. Soon boring, nonmagical recipes feel like life before Aunt Lily—a lot less fun.

So Rose and her siblings experi-ment with just a couple of recipes from the forbidden Cookery Booke.

A few Love Muffins and a few dozen Cookies of Truth couldn't cause too much trouble . . . could they?

Kathryn Littlewood's culinary caper blends rich emotional flavor with truly magical wit, yielding one heaping portion of hilarious family adventure.
