this was cute and the premise really cool—magic and food?? match made in heaven—but the main conflict was predictable and the ending felt incredibly juvenile—far too convenient and belief suspending, even for a middle grade book, especially regarding the financials… that kinda brought it down for me.

3.25 out of 5 stars ⭐️
