Recipes, friendship, and a touch of magic

Kelly Quinn and two friends find a mysterious cookbook while clearing out an attic, then test recipes that appear to have real effects: one silences Kelly’s younger brother, while another curses Charlotte, a mean girl. The cookbook gives the girls a puzzle to investigate—who wrote it, and where did its recipes come from?—as their experiments bring questions of friendship, school conflicts, and boys into the mix. The magic is grounded in everyday relationships and the consequences of trying out recipes whose effects the girls do not fully understand.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For ages 9–12 interested in friendship-centered fiction.
  • For young readers who enjoy magical recipes and school-life complications.
  • For readers looking for a light fantasy premise involving friends and family.

Book overview

Take three friends. Add an old cookbook. Combine with cute boys and a pinch of magic...and see what kind of chaos ensues! When Kelly Quinn and her two BFFs discover a dusty old cookbook while cleaning out the attic, the girls decide to try a few of the mysterious and supposedly magical recipes that are inside. To their surprise, the Keep 'Em Quiet Cobbler actually silences Kelly's pesky little brother and the Hexberry Tart puts a curse on mean girl Charlotte. Is it possible that the recipes really are magic? Who wrote them and where did they come from? And most importantly of all, when boys get involved, what kind of trouble are the girls stirring up for themselves?
