Leila is spellbindingly good at everything ... until she discovers that baking is no piece of cake!
From the author of the New York Times #1 bestseller Gustavo, the Shy Ghost – a brilliantly original Halloween story perfect for children aged 3-5 who love witches, baking and stories about sisters and family. Set in Mexico, this Halloween picture book is about overcoming self-doubt, finding your confidence and the importance of perseverance. Plus … CAKE! Lots of cake.
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?
“A fun and colourful reminder that no one can be the best at everything, even powerful little witches.” Bookseller
“Leila Wayward is a brilliant little witch who seems good at everything […] the counter to Jill Murphy’s clumsy if charismatic Worst Witch and the ever accident-prone Meg in Helen Nicoll and Jan Pienkowski’s Meg and Mog classics.” Times
