âœA magical tale, brimming with heart. âAnne Ursu, National Book Awardâlong-listed author of The Troubled Girls of Dragomir AcademyMaud has grown up in a house made of gingerbread, wanting nothing more than to be a witch like Mother Agatha. But just like all of Agatha's gingerbread creationsâfrom the magical house to the chocolate mousse squirrelâMaud will turn back into crumbs if anything ever happens to Agatha. This seems unthinkableâuntil Hansel and Gretel, a pair of witch hunters, push Agatha into the cottage's oven. To save herself and the other creations, Maud will have to go into the dangerous forest of the Shadelands to find the First Witch's spellbook. But with witch hunters on her trail and others interested in the book for their own means, can Maud bring back the only mother she's ever knownâor will witch hunters capture her before she can save her gingerbread family?
