Ilustration During Books Bliss (The Bliss Bakery #1)
Rosemary Bliss’s family has a secret. It’s the Bliss Cookery Booke—an ancient, leather-bound volume of enchanted recipes like Stone Sleep Snickerdoodles and Singing Gingersnaps. Rose and her siblings are supposed to keep the Cookery Booke under lock and whisk-shaped key while their parents are out of town, but then a mysterious stranger shows up. “Aunt” Lily rides a motorcycle, wears purple sequins, and whips up exotic (but delicious) dishes for dinner. Soon boring, non-magical recipes feel like life before Aunt Lily—a lot less fun. So Rose and her siblings experiment with just a couple of recipes from the forbidden Cookery Booke. A few Love Muffins and a few dozen Cookies of Truth couldn’t cause too much trouble . . . could they? Kathryn Littlewood’s culinary caper blends rich emotional flavor with truly magical wit, yielding one heaping portion of hilarious family adventure.

Rose struggles between being obedient, and keeping the family secret and doing what get brothers and Lilly want her to do.This is a must read for any girl middle kid who feels a little too average. In the end it shows that people don't have to single you out to be noticing you. If you areI received this Young Adult book as a Free Friday selection from Barnes and Noble for my Nook.I did not realize that I would be hooked and want to read the next one in the series.The family in the book live in a magical town called Calamity Falls. Twelve year old Rose Bliss wants to work magic in her family's bakery as her parents do, but when they are called away and Rose and her siblings are left in charge, the magic goes awry and a beautiful stranger tries to talk Rose into giving her the
LONG AND EXTENSIVE REVIEW WITH SEVERE CRITICISM3.5 starsI reeeeally enjoyed this book. It had suspense and magic, and was easy to read. Reminds me of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The Candymakers.But I have to say, there were three things I didnt like (possible spoilers):1) Throughout the entire book, Rose had these stupid fantasies and just plain STUPID REMARKS about her crush and her.Shed be like Oh if we were boyfriend and girlfriend, wed stand on top of the highest hill and look down

Dislike the humor in this book. Esp the one with Mr Bastable and Ms Thistle.
Abandoned at p71. Unfortunately the only good thing about this is the cute concept. The execution is disappointing to say the least. The characters don't act or talk like kids should. The internal monologue of the main character is far more repetitive and unsubtle than can be justified by the younger target audience. This book feels like it's really talking down to the reader. Come on. Give kids more credit.There was plenty of cringeworthy content to go around, too. Casual sexism coming from the
I really enjoyed this book! I could have finish it in one day, but school slows me down! And this is so sad that I can't continue the other books: I don't own them... Grr :')
Goodreads steered me wrong with this recommendation. Reading "Bliss" was a lot like watching a 3rd grade class trying to perform a Shakespeare play. They can follow the script just fine, but their understanding of the characters' motivations and emotions is vastly limited because they lack real-world experience. The result is 8 year old actors announcing "I am sad!" or "That makes me angry!" to the audience; it's very two-dimensional and flat. And Littlewood does announce to her audience what
