На первый взгляд Чудсы — обычная семья пекарей. Вот только Роз Чудс еще в десять лет поняла, что на самом деле за закрытыми дверями кухни ее мама и папа творят настоящее волшебство, а точнее… пекут! Сникердудли из пекарни Чудсов способны запросто излечить от лунатизма, булочки с маком — вернуть забытые воспоминания, а печенье — вывести лжеца на чистую воду. Перед отъездом из города папа и мама строго наказали Роз, ее братьям и младшей сестренке хранить под замком главную семейную ценность — Поваренную книгу Чудсов — и никому о ней не рассказывать. Но стоило родителям покинуть дом, как на пороге тут же объявилась загадочная незнакомка,…

Rose won back her family's magical Cookery Booke in an international baking competition in A Dash of Magic, the second novel in the series. Rose is now world famous—so famous, in fact, that Mr. Butter, head of the Mostess Corporation, has kidnapped her so that she can develop new-and-improved magical recipes for his company's snack cakes. With the magically enhanced Dinkies and Moony Pies, Mr. Butter plans to take over the world.

Together with her brothers, their talking cat and mouse, and an unlikely team of bakers, Rose must overthrow Mr. Butter before he destroys civilization, one magically evil snack cake at a time.

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. . . .
