Middle Grade Fantasy
Sprinkle storms? Exploding cookie jars? Flying donuts?
Eleven-year-old Angie certainly doesn’t think any of that will happen when she enters the famous Cinnamon Falls Gingerbread Contest. All she wants is to win by baking a gingerbread replica of the entire town and impress her best friend who’s been avoiding her since the start of sixth grade.
But when Angie’s town crumbles in disaster, she gets the surprise of her life; someone is repairing her gingerbread in the middle of the night. Someone with a magical wooden spoon and a big batch of troubles all her own who could make Angie’s baking dreams come true—or make her the least popular kid at Cinnamon Middle School!
Now with the contest deadline looming, she must figure out how to save her unexpected new friend from a not-so-sweet plot before she’s whisked out of Angie’s life forever.
A plot that may even threaten the real town of Cinnamon Falls.
Welcome Readers!
I'm Karen Kent, a soon-to-be self-published author of middle grade stories. I hope to take my readers on magical journeys full of friendship and adventure (and lots of laughter) between the covers of my books.
I grew up on the east coast and now call the Pacific Northwest home where I live with my family, including two dogs and a cat.
When not writing, I might be found tending to tomato plants, creating collage art, reading articles about astrobiology, or searching a beach for the elusive piece of perfect sea glass.
