A Dash of Magic (Bliss Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Kathryn Littlewood (Author), Erin McGuire (Illustrator) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 337 ratings
See all formats and editions

This second book in the acclaimed Bliss trilogy mixes the down-home heart-punch of Ingrid Law's Newbery Honor Book Savvy, the always-on-the-edge-of-chaos comedy of Cheaper by the Dozen, and a humorous magic all its own to create a thoroughly original confection to please every reader's sweet tooth!

The Bliss family's magical Cookery Booke was stolen by evil Aunt Lily at the end of Bliss, the first novel in the series. Now twelve-year-old Rosemary has a chance to win it back: she challenges her aunt to an Iron Chef-style international baking competition in Paris.

But the only way to beat the cheating Aunt Lily is to gather magical ingredients of her own. Together with her brothers and their talking cat and mouse, Rose races across Paris—from the Eiffel Tower to the Cathedral of Notre Dame to the Mona Lisa in the Louvre Museum—to gather what she needs to out-bake—and out-magic—her conniving aunt.

If Rose wins, the cherished Cookery Booke will return to her family where it belongs. If she loses—well, the consequences are too ugly to think about. . . .

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 3-6-In this sequel to Bliss (HarperCollins, 2012), Littlewood continues her frothy tale of the magical baking family as they enter a high-stakes culinary competition in Paris to win back their magic recipe book from their evil relative, Lily Le Fay. It is 12-year-old Rose and her siblings who take on the task of finding the ingredients they need, such as the wish of a ghost and the blush of a queen, as they try to outwit and outbake Lily, who has bewitched everyone with her enchanted "Magic Ingredient." Brimming with lighthearted fun, where even the gargoyles turn out to be friendly, this action-packed fantasy, celebrating the courage and ingenuity of children and the wholesomeness of simple baking, will be enjoyed most by those who have read the first book. Travel buffs will like the way the action takes place in and around Parisian tourist attractions. Characterization is light and easy, with some insight into Rose's feelings. Newcomers to the series will need some patience while they get up to speed. The ending suggests a sequel.-Sue Giffard, Ethical Culture Fieldston School, New York Cityα(c) Copyright 2013.

this was a great book to read once, and only once. I like baking as a hobby and thought this book would be great to read with a baked treat and a comfortable chair. It was, but after like a week, I didn't really like it that much. I loved the characters they added to the story, overall the book was great but my attention span for it wasn't

Reviewed in Germany on January 17, 2018

Same as "Sweet" except on the first page of the Prologue on Page 1 in Dash, Aunt is lower case while in Sweet it's upper. Seriously this is the difference between a UK and US book? And Amazon couldn't make it easier to identify that it was the same book in the same series?
