Crazy for Cake! — Phillip Gwynne

Everyone in Rick Bickworth's class is good at something, except him. One day, though, Rick discovers that he was born to bake. And there's nothing average about that-especially when it puts him in competition with his mom at the Royal Show! Our popular series offers a reading buffet for every appetite and skill level. When you dish up just the books kids are ready for, they'll bite, and grow into voracious readers. The three drool-worthy selections on our menu start with Nibbles, appetizer-sized portions for new readers. Bites give a larger helping of more advanced reading to the kids who are ready for more. Finally, they graduate to full-sized middle grade novels we call Chomps. Dessert, anyone? Each book has a bite taken out of it, indicating its reading level to parents while tipping off kids that they're in for a real treat. Written by a host of top-notch, award-winning children's authors!
