The second book in this breakout
series that's been called "charming and delectably
sweet." (Zoraida Córdova, award-winning author of the Brooklyn
Brujas series)
Leonora Logroño has finally been
introduced to her family’s bakery bruja magic—but that doesn’t mean everything
is all sugar and spice. Her special power hasn’t shown up yet, her family still
won’t let her perform her own spells, and they now act rude every time Caroline
comes by to help Leo with her magic training.
She knows that the family magic should
be kept secret, but Caroline is her best friend, and she’s been feeling lonely
ever since her mom passed away. Why should Leo have to choose between being a
good bruja and a good friend?
In the midst of her confusion, Leo wakes
up one morning to a startling sight: her dead grandmother, standing in her
room, looking as alive as she ever was. Both Leo and her abuela realize this
might mean trouble—especially once they discover that Abuela isn’t the only
person in town who has been pulled back to life from the other side.
Spirits are popping up all over town,
causing all sorts of trouble! Is this Leo’s fault? And can she reverse the
spell before it’s too late?

Meriano’s unforgettable family of brujas returns in a new story featuring a
heaping helping of amor, azúcar, and magia.

Leonora Logroño’s family owns the most
beloved bakery in Rose Hill, Texas, spending their days conjuring delicious
cookies and cakes for any occasion. And no occasion is more important than the
annual Dia de los Muertos festival.
Leo hopes that this might be the year
that she gets to help prepare for the big celebration—but, once again, she is
told she’s too young. Sneaking out of school and down to the bakery, she
discovers that her mother, aunt, and four older sisters have in fact been
keeping a big secret: they’re brujas—witches of Mexican ancestry—who pour a
little bit of sweet magic into everything that they bake.
Leo knows that she has magical ability
as well and is more determined than ever to join the family business—even if
she can’t let her mama and hermanas know about it yet. And when her best
friend, Caroline, has a problem that needs solving, Leo has the perfect
opportunity to try out her craft. It’s just one little spell, after
all…what could possibly go wrong?
Debut author Anna Meriano brings us the
first book in a delightful new series filled to the brim with amor, azúcar, y
magia.
