So much fun!

"Bake Believe" has officially turned me on to audio books. It was such a cute story, and the way it was told really had your imagination running. The narrator made that story everything and more. I listened to it every chance I had, and the time fly by each chapter making it hard to believe it was as long as it was.
The story starts with Cat who is newly entering 8th grade. Her and her cousin Robyn are excited for new electives, boys, and a great new year. First day of school she is put into an elective for culinary arts. New and unfamiliar because her mother does absolutely no cooking unless its frozen or pre-made its a new experience for her. She excited to bake and be with her classmates but soon starts to receive odd behavior from her mother who doesn't want her to cook or take the class. As the story unfolds we learn that there are family secrets deep within Cats family, and while her aunt bakes with love and her mother scorns the kitchen as whole its Cat who we find with some extraordinary powers in the kitchen. Its a very fun story and each chapter ending provides a recipe related to the chapter. Kids and adults will appreciate this book!

The magic of baking

This was a cute little story dealing with the trials and tribulations of a teen who discovers there’s more to her than she could have ever imagined. It’s not a very deep story, but it’s right on track for the age of the main character.

I did enjoy Cori Cooper’s imaginative story. I also love the recipes provided between each of the chapters of the story. They tied back to what happened in the prior chapters are were presented in a fun way. It is also very helpful to have the chapters labeled the way they are!

Katie Penate did a great job of getting into character. It was very believable and I had no problems following along.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Teen Story with Interesting Twists

Bake Believe is an adorable story about a young girl going through crushes, school, family, and… something special. This book was definitely one of a kind. It’s a coming of age novel with a relatable young character and all of her friends and family. Read this if you like cute stories about young children figuring out where they are meant to be in life. The narrator is great and fits the story really well from a teens perspective.

A great story

This would be a great story to read with your granddaughter. I loved the characters & the strange reactions to the baking. The calls that Cat got from the little brother were hilarious.

Fun

This is a very light read well listen to book. It took me a few chapters to get pulled in. Pre-teens, younger siblings, and a little something extra what could go wrong? There were parts that had me laughing and I just love when a book can do that. This is a perfect book for when you want something light, funny, and a little different. Now I want to bake! Or just to have some really good bake goods. Hope they make me feel good!
