The first in a hilarious middle-grade series about a whip-smart inventor and amateur sleuth with a taste for adventure—a recipe for fun sprinkled with mystery, villainy, silliness, heart, and hope.
Bridget Baxter is the very last orphan at the Orphanage for Errant Childs, left at the mercy of the awful Ms. Acrid and her foul-smelling fish sandwiches. Ms. Acrid’s mission is to make Bridget’s life a misery. But Bridget is more than a match for her.
When kindly Mr. Vanderpuff arrives at the Orphanage in search of a child to care for, Bridget thinks her luck has finally turned. Mr. Vanderpuff is the village baker, and his shop is a world of wonders. But they soon discover that Bridget is absolutely terrible at baking. When Ms. Acrid returns for the ultimate revenge, Bridget must open the Locked and Secret Door, navigate Ms. Acrid’s spiderweb of booby traps, and use her unique baking skills to save herself—and Mr. Vanderpuff—from certain disaster.
Join Bridget as she dons her chef whites and gets the croissants at the ready… Baking isn’t such a piece of cake.
