This is a delightful little book, stuffed with bakers, magic, princesses, honorable pirates, and dastardly magicians. It was a ton of fun to read.

This is definitely a middle grade book and I definitely watch too much political intrigue because I was stressing myself out the entire book imagining complications that didn't happen

This was a short, charming story about a girl who can bake feelings into things and who lives in a land without trees (an evil magician took them away). I enjoyed it, although the middle was a bit long.

A whimsical adventure where a girl with certain magic abilities travels far and wide with a couple of her friends.
I listened to the audiobook and I definitely recommend it. B encounters many different characters on their adventures, I just really loved it

Baker's Magic was such a fun, fluffy, and beautiful read! This middle grade fantasy novel was a perfect mix of interesting characters, family values, baking, pirates, and magic! The fact that there was actually a tough female pirate captain was a big +10 for me!
From the very first chapter on, I was already hooked. I felt so connected to the characters and throughout the book that didn't change. Mr Bouts, the baker, has to be one of my favourite characters from this novel. He was an absolute gem!
I loved the fact that this book focused around the Dutch culture. Tulips were a main part of the book, as well as all of the Dutch names (Willem, De Vos, Bouts)!
The writing style was absolutely gorgeous and I loved the descriptiveness of it!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I cannot recommend it enough!
Btw given the fact that it's mainly about baking delicious goods, it's so much fun to see that there is actually a recipe at the end of this book for the 'Bouts Buns' that were mentioned very often in this book! I can't wait to bake them! (And hope I don't fail, because I'm not very good at baking...)

Princess's, pirates, magic and baking. What more could you possibly want in a book? I utterly adored this. Each page warmed my heart and made me stupidly happy. Despite this being a middle grade book, I enjoyed each and every moment. I would have LOVED reading this as a child, just as I loved reading it today at the age of 19.
There are so many lovely messages hidden within this one story. Bee's form of magic is such a wonderful concept, a really unique idea that fit flawlessly with the story. I loved watching Bee's various relationship's unfold, especially with Master Bouts. I found myself really warming to the characters and enjoying their development throughout the story. They had a real depth to them that I wasn't expecting from a middle grade novel. There were so many individual stories and messages wrapped in this one book, each as wonderful as the last. Yet, there wasn't ever any confusion or feeling that there was too much going on. The writing in this was gorgeous and the descriptions of the baked goods quite literally made me hungry, every few pages I found myself with a sudden urge to bake.
Wonderful characters, brilliant writing and a captivating story. Bakers Magic is simply gorgeous. (A free copy was provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you NetGalley.)
