Kiki's Delivery Service meets Terry Pratchett in this French middle-grade fantasy featuring a magical grandmother who's lost her memory, a young Black boy discovering his powers and a clever witch in disguise.
This book was really enchanting. That being said, when the prologue brings together baking and magical books, it's sure to catch my attention. I had lots of fun following Charly's adventures, and was genuinely surprised by some of the revelations which brought a lot of depth to the story. Bonus point for a wonderfully diverse cast!
