A Recipe for Trouble by Sarah Todd Taylor
4.0
This was such an absolute delight! Baking, mild peril and puzzles – what more do you need in a book?
Alice Éclair reminded me a little bit like Harriet the Spy, but next level adventurer. Alice may be young, but she is already a talented pastry chef and puzzler. Her uncle drops in from time to time to deliver cryptic messages for her, but why is he testing her?
Finally, Alice has a proper adventure and a chance to tackle thieves, mischief makers and more. During this time, we meet some excellent characters and start to figure out exactly what’s going on. Red herrings, twists and turns keep readers’ attention throughout, with a nice amount of delectable delights as well.
Older readers may need to suspend belief at how such a young child achieves all of this, but overall this book is super readable, visual and exciting – a must for children and adults everywhere!
