The Power of Poppy Pendle review by alphatauri
Profile Picture

Poppy Pendle was born to bake--or, more accurately, she was born in a bakery. But Poppy's parents are convinced that she was born to do magic, as Poppy inherited the gift from her great-grandmother Mabel. Even though she's the top of her class at the Ruthersfield Academy, a school for witches, Poppy isn't interested. All she wants is to follow her passion and bake all kinds of melt-aways, cookies, and cakes. As her parents' and Poppy's interests collide harder and harder, the conflict in the book rises more and more. How can Poppy ever follow her passion?
