About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling the weight of expectations or struggling with a family reputation they didn't choose. It is perfect for the pre-teen who feels like an outsider or worries that their mistakes define them. Ginger Breadhouse, daughter of the Candy Witch, desperately wants to be known for her baking and her MirrorCast show rather than her mother's dark past. When a magic recipe goes wrong and turns her crush into a frog, Ginger must navigate the guilt of her mistake while proving she is nothing like her villainous mother. It is a lighthearted yet meaningful exploration of identity, accountability, and the courage required to forge your own path. While set in a whimsical high school for fairy tale descendants, the emotional core focuses on self-confidence and the power of second chances. It is an ideal choice for readers aged 8 to 12 who enjoy humor mixed with a touch of magic and relatable social dilemmas.
