But even with the most bewitching of recipes, she realizes a terrible truth: she's a disaster in the kitchen. Luckily, Leila has three magical sisters who are happy to share their culinary secrets with her. What's more, Leila discovers that baking with them is fun! Win or lose, she has already tasted the sweetest thing of all: acceptance—with a pinch of nightshade and a bit of mandrake. In a Spanish language edition filled with expressive and fancifully offbeat illustrations, Flavia Z. Drago's enchanting story of trying your hardest despite your imperfections is sure to delight little witches and novice bakers alike.

"Far and wide, Leila Wayward was known for being an extraordinary little witch." But despite her desire to win the Magnificent Witchy Cake-Off, Leila can't seem to master the Dark Arts of Patisserie like the other Wayward women. When she accepts help, tips, and tricks from her three older sisters, Leila is finally ready to compete...and has learned that having fun makes her feel like a winner no matter what. Drago's colorful mixed-media illustrations are full of interesting and funny details that complement her playful story, from the pictures on the front endpapers introducing her family to the decor in their gingerbread house to the not-so-scary creatures that inhabit Leila's witchy world. Concurrently published in Spanish as Leila, la bruhita perfecta. Cynthia K. Ritter(Copyright 2022 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston. All rights reserved.)
