Joe is excited about spending the summer holiday with his granny in the village of Muddlemore, especially when he discovers that his cousins, Tom and Pip, will also be there. The trio arrive at their granny's just in time for the annual village Bake Off competition which is always hotly contested; however, this year Joe's Granny has a secret weapon up her sleeve: her grandmother's recipe for chocolate fudge layer cake which she's going to use to create a triple layer cake with fudge icing - but it's important that the cake is kept secret until the big reveal at the final. Cue Joe, Tom and Pip who go to extraordinary lengths to try to keep their granny's cake a secret. But what will happen when the recipe goes missing?
This is a fun and fast-paced story that will be perfect for lower key stage 2. The 3 children are well-meaning and go to extraordinary lengths to try to help their granny, without her knowledge, from spying on the neighbours to kidnapping a cat, they will stop at nothing - proof that, when children put their imaginations to work, they can end up in all sorts of trouble! The different personalities of the 3 main characters shine through and it's sensible Tom who decides that written case notes are required.
Released on the 4th March, this is a great book to curl up with, but be warned: this book will make you want to eat cake and lots of it!
