Rose and Ty run into trouble when they copy out some recipes from The Cookery Booke and experiment with them, hoping to show off to Lily without letting her into that vault.Ī love potion and a truth potion cause all kinds of craziness in town, as does a backwards spell intended to reverse the previous spells. In addition to being sneaky, she makes people feel good about themselves. Yes, she's nefarious, and she has put some kind of spell on the kids so they won't tell their parents she is there when the elder Blisses call home.īut in addition to scheming, Lily is actually a lot of fun. Lily is a bit more complicated than that. It is so obvious that she has come to steal the Bliss family's magic cookbook that you may find yourself, as I did, telling Rose not to be a sucker for pages on end. We also get Chip, the laconic, tattooed muscleman who works in the bakery, and an elderly babysitter who smells weird and yells with a Scottish accent.īut the real star of this show is "Aunt" Lily, who shows up about five minutes after Rose's parents leave. Rose is the only one in the family with dark hair, and she feels practically invisible-especially around her crush, Devin Stetson. Rose's siblings include 15-year-old athlete and heartbreaker Ty, who's so full of himself and so adored by others that he hardly ever has to do a lick of work 9-year-old Sage, who's a clown and 3-year-old Leigh, who mostly makes messes. Littlewood has fun with her cast of characters. She's the one entrusted with the whisk-shaped silver key to the magical vault when her parents are called out of town. Bliss makes a special recipe to save a small boy who is in a coma after having been struck by lightning.īliss is written in the third person, but it is told almost entirely from the point of view of Rose, the Blisses' responsible, too-ordinary, too-plain, and slightly anxious 12-year-old daughter. Not only are their baked goods extra yummy, but they can also act as magical solutions to problems.
The Bliss family owns a magic bake shop in a small town.
