Ellie's Magical Bakery: Best Cake for a Best Friend

Summary

Book 1 in a magical new series from Paralympian and star of the Great Comic Relief Bake-Off, Ellie Simmonds.

Ellie lives with her uncle and aunt, Mr and Mrs Scrudge, in the miserable town of Greyton. The Scrudges and their horrible son, Colin, can't stand the sight of Ellie and won't let her into the bakery, even for a moment.

But on her birthday Ellie receives a mystery present – a very special cookery book where the recipes magically appear on the page! There are recipes for what to bake for a long train journey, what to eat when you’ve eaten too much - even a cake to help you find a best friend.

With the Greyton bake-off just round the corner, suddenly anything feels possible . . .
