Leila is spellbindingly good at everything ... until she discovers that baking is no piece of cake!

New from the author of the New York Times #1 bestseller Gustavo, the Shy Ghost!

Leila Wayward is an extraordinary little witch who excels at everything she does. She's the fastest flier, the most cunning conjurer and the sneakiest shape-shifter. She is also the youngest in a long line of master bakers, so Leila's big dream is to win the most infamous culinary competition around: The Magnificent Witchy Cake-Off! But even with the most bewitching of recipes, Leila realizes a terrible truth: she’s a disaster in the kitchen! Luckily, Leila has three magical sisters who are always there for her. Can they remind her to have some fun along the way?

Set in Mexico, this vibrant story – brimming over with delicious sweet treats – is a celebration of sisterhood, taking part, and the simple joy of making (and eating!) food together.

Flavia Z. Drago was born and raised in Mexico City. As a child, she wanted to be a mermaid. When that didn’t happen, she began her career as a graphic designer and a children’s book illustrator. She has an MA in Children's Book Illustration from the Cambridge School of Art and was shortlisted for the 2018 Sebastian Walker Award. She is the author-illustrator of Gustavo, the Shy Ghost and the "Monsters Play..." board book series. She loves colour, textures and shapes, and enjoys creating them with different materials and a bit of digital sorcery.
