Summary from Bloomsbury
Meet
Flamie Oliver. To look at, Flamie is as terrifying as a dragon can
get. But behind closed doors, Flamie is . . . a stupendously
spectacular Star Baker! That's right – choux, rough, salty,
sweet and puff – Flamie loves it all. In fact, he loves baking so
much that his studies at the Ferocious Dragon Academy are starting to
suffer, and there's a chance he won't graduate! Flamie's going to
need a real showstopper to get out of this one.
On your marks, get set . . . BAKE!
On your marks, get set . . . BAKE!
Nayu's thoughts
An amusing tale filled with sweet treats! I'm
not sure where to strt with this review. I was wowed by the
illustrations, there's so many different reds, oranges, and yellows
used for Flamie's body and fire, with detail of scales and loads of
texture. Even though they were just pictures I wanted to eat almost
everything that I saw!
It was sad how left out Flamie felt by not
being like other dragons, but it's the adorable princess who helps
him figure out how to show his skills so he can pass dragon school.
What may go over younger readerz's heads is the use of names similar
to some majorly famous bakers which will make older readers chuckle,
sice the comments are rather realistic to who says them. Definitely a
read if you love cake, need a laugh, and want to know that being
different is completely normal!
