Bite-Sized Magic

The Bliss Bakery #3

by Kathryn Littlewood, Erin Mcguire (Illustrator)

This third book in Kathryn Littlewood's acclaimed Bliss trilogy mixes the down-home heart punch of Ingrid Law's Newbery Honor Book Savvy, the always-on-the-edge-of-chaos comedy of Cheaper by the Dozen, and a humorous magic all its own to create a thoroughly original confection, a delicious guilty pleasure for readers of all ages.

Rose won back her family's magical Cookery Booke in an international baking competition in A Dash of Magic, the second novel in the series. Rose is now world famous—so famous, in fact, that Mr. Butter, head of the Mostess Corporation, has kidnapped her so that she can develop new and improved magical recipes for his company's snack cakes. With the magically enhanced Dinkies and Moony Pies, Mr. Butter plans to take over the world.

Together with her brothers, their talking cat and mouse, and an unlikely team of bakers, Rose must overthrow Mr. Butter before he destroys civilization, one magically evil snack cake at a time.

[Dena McMurdie · Rating 5 out of 5]

The only problem with the Bliss series is that every time I read one of the books, I have an uncontrollable urge to eat cake. And cookies. Or any other baked dessert.

This is the third installment of the Bliss series, and I sincerely hope that it won't be the last! The ending left me hopeful that there will be more books. Although Bite-Sized Magic is part of a series, it can be read on its own. In this book, Rose is abducted by a sinister man looking to take over the world through the use of evil baked goods. He forces Rose to perfect the recipes until they are as evil as he is.

Packed with light-hearted humor, Bite-Sized Magic is a delicious confection just begging to be devoured. Readers of all ages will love this delectable tale of cake-like proportions. It is funny, quick to read, and an all around treat! Kids will fall in love with Rose, her brothers (Ty will be happy!), and the comical team of assisting bakers. If you are looking for a great family read, give this series a try.

Verdict: Another slice please!

3,5/5 🌟 Ευχάριστη, εύκολη ανάγνωση. Ο Γκας και ο Ζακ κάνουν πιο ενδιαφέρον το βιβλίο.

[Dion Yulianto · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sehangat kue kukis yang baru dikeluarkan dari pemanggang, buku ketiga ini kembali menghadirkan aroma kekeluargaan nan hangat sebagai senjata utama. Tidak ada sihir yang sanggup mengalahkan kuatnya ikatan persaudaraan dan persahabatan. Keluarga Bliss membuktikan, bahwa masalah apapun tidak akan terasa berat jika dihadapi bersama, bahu membahu, bantu-membantu, karena itulah guna sebuah keluarga. Sebuah penutup yang manis, walau menurut saya masih terlalu tipis untuk sebuah buku penutup trilogy. Masih banyak cerita yang belum disampaikan. Kisah-kisah hebat yang urung terungkapkan. Tokoh-tokoh baru yangmasih disembunyikan. Buku ini masih terlalu sederhana untuk bisa dibilang sebagai sebuah karya yang utuh. Tapi, mengingat ini adalah buku untuk anak dan remaja, rasanya pembaca dewasa bisa memakluminya.

After receiving book three unsolicited, I decided to power through this middle grade series if I liked it well enough. Though I probably wouldn’t have picked it up on my own, I definitely do not begrudge the time that I spent hanging out with Rosemary Bliss. Like most middle grade, I think it’s probably only going to truly shine for young readers, but it was still enjoyable for me as an adult, or at least I play one in my daily life.

The one and only thing wrong with this book is it gave me the uncontrollable urge to eat something sweet.
It was REALLY good! New unforgettable characters and unique recipes are introduced in this story. There is a new thrilling plot, as a new matter that once again brings the world's fate into the hands of Rosemary Bliss. You will be on the edge of you seats on the newest amazing book of the Bliss series. I hope it won't be the last!

I loved the Bliss trilogy especially the last book. Bite-Sized Magic of course stressed the importance of family love. During the third book, Rose has learned so much about her family magic and her own gift. She goes through many difficult choices and a dangerous time. But in the end, she is rewarded with her birthday wishes and the love of her family. Not to mention Rose saved the world, AGAIN. I loved these books and recommend
to anyone who loves a cute and clever story line. Bliss series!!

Brilliant book to round out the series. I love the La Cage Aux Folles conflict toward the end. Thoroughly enjoyable and a solid critique of the food industrial complex.

Méltó befejezése a trilógiának. Nem Lily néni történetét folytatta, amit sajnáltam, és így nem tudtam meg, ki is az a Shrunken Man, de izgalmas történet volt ez is. Mr. Butter tipikus gonosz, aki uralma alá akarja hajtani a világot, de abba már nem gondol bele, mi lenne a mágiával megvariált süteményeiuek a hosszútávú hatása. Lily néni végső üzenete pedig jelzi, hogy a harc közte és a Bliss család között még nem zárult le. És persze a könyv fő mondanivalója, ami ezer meg ezer alkotásból köszön vissza, a szeretet és a családi kötelékek (ami nem feltétlenül vérszerinti rokonságot jelent) fontossága.

Örülök, hogy rászántam magam, hogy folytassam angolul.

Ez a trilógia mondhatni, lezárt, de szerencsére van egy újabb, (eddig?) 4 részes sorozat ugyanebből a világból, talán jövőre el is kezdem olvasni.

Like the two previous books in the series, this one was just charming and full of humour and descriptions of delicious food. I think that I liked it the least, but it was still an enjoyable read and I think it's perfect for middle grade readers, as the adventures of Rosemary and the whole Bliss family are lots of fun.

Konflik buku ini simple tapi tetep seru n menegangkan. Solving problemnya juga menuaikan n masuk akal.
Rekomen banget deh buat mom daddy yang punya anak2 hobby baca n masak2.

Aku lebih suka petualangan di buku keduanya, lebih terasa aroma kekeluargaannya. Kalau yang ini agak mengada-ada bagiku. Tapi kabar baik nya, di series ketiga ini karakter Rose sudah lebih percaya diri, tidak se-insecure sebelum nya & karakter Ty juga tidak terlalu menyebalkan lagi, jadi boleh dibilang ada perkembangan karakter lah☺

Bite Sized Magic
Plot: We’re all in for a treat. In Bite Sized Magic Rosemary Bliss gets abducted when The Big Bakery Law is passed. Basically, the law is because small town bakeries are a threat to big factory operations if you have less than a thousand workers you have to shut down. The owners of the Mostess Company (Mr. Butter and Mr. Ker) have heard all about her win in Paris and need her to perfect their 5 signiture snack cakes. But unlike the magic used in her own family’s bakery embedded in their treats that help and cure their residents, the magic used at the Mostess company is full of darkness and evil. With the perfection of these recipes the Mostess company will succeed in running all the other factories out of business and figuratively and literally make its purchaser’s slaves to their “food like” snacks. So, it’s up to Rosemary to find the cure in time before the rival (and special guest) Kathy Keegan makes her appearance and her family (who have found the compound and being held in a Pastry Bag shaped hotel on the lot) are made to pay the price. It’s a rush against the clock. Can Rosemary stand up against all the heat in the Mostess kitchen?

My Thoughts: Any-one else in the mood for a Twinkie after reading this? Or is it just me. I liked the setting of this one and the play of making this the Hostess headquarters. I thought that fit nicely. Some of the reference were easy to tell Mooney Pye (Moon Pies), Dinkies (Twinkies), Glow Balls (Snowballs), King Things (Ring Dings?). Some I wasn’t sure of. Dinky Doodle Donuts? And was Kathy Keegan supposed to be Betty Crocker? She was the only one that popped in my head that this could have been in reference too. After reading this I wondered if the author had something against Hostess or if the message in general was her dislike of big companies running smaller ones out of business by using shady tactics and she just used Hostess as an example. Though ironically if these wasn’t the intent I really can’t think of any other snack companies out there but Hostess. Little Debbie? Are they still in operation? Maybe that’s who Kathy Keegan was suppose to be. I appreciated the little details in this book that might have been glossed over that stood out in my mind and made it POP. (I’m all about the details!) Such as Pastry bag shaped hotel, the gold-rolling pin shaped key, the laboratory with an endless supply of magical items). It’s things like that turn the story even more fun to read. Do you know what would be cute tho? If these series had the Bliss’s magical spell book for us to read. We get bits and pieces of it through all 3 books. AND in the back of it were the dark recipes Lily had. I LOVE THAT IDEA SO MUCH! Wouldn’t it even be fun if there WAS a Bliss bakery? That way we could sample for ourselves what we’ve read about. That would be so much fun! The only thing I took issue with that didn’t make sense was Lilly seemed to go out of her way to get the Bliss Cooke Book, right? (And then in the last book didn’t it end with the midget stealing the book? Did they get it back in the in-between between the last book and this one?). She seems to revere both the good version and evil version and you want us to believe that she’d just carelessly leave the evil version behind when in the last book we saw all the trouble she went to keep the good version of the book hidden. And then it also didn’t fit that Lily would be so *free* with her secret. In the last book when Rosemary confronted on her on national TV and threaten to expose her she wasn’t like “Okay.” She didn’t call Rosemary on it. Showing that she didn’t want the world to know about her magic. So why would she share it with the Mostess bakers? And for that matter the Rolling Pin Society? Although Lilly wasn’t seen in this (until the end). Maybe SHES the one running the Rolling Pin Society. She might have left the book behind because it might have just been a copy and she still has the real one. I’m sorry that this was the last book in the series because I really enjoyed reading these. If you liked these as much as I did and you have Amazon Prime, there’s an original series on there called Just Add Magic and it’s VERY similar to the Bliss series. Not identical but it has the same elements in it.

Rating: 8

Sebenarnya sih untuk ceritanya cuma 3 bintang, tapi covernya yang cantik dan sisi halamannya yang sparkling blue selalu jadi alasan saya untuk memberi bonus 1 bintang :D

Sayang, untuk buku ketiga ini, sisi halaman sparkling blue-nya memudar karena bukunya selalu saya bawa saat pergi ke kantor, berharap dapat mencuri-curi waktu untuk membaca saat bos tidak melihat.*eh*.

Tapi ujung-ujungnya saya tetap hanya bisa membaca saat weekend dan selesai sekali duduk. Tahu begini bukunya saya tinggal saja di rumah :D

Kembali ke keluarga Bliss. Rose yang dua minggu lalu memenangkan kontes masak terkeren mulai merasakan bagaimana tidak enaknya jadi orang terkenal. Saking kesalnya, Rose berharap dia tidak perlu membuat roti lagi. Dan jleb...harapannya terkabul. Tiba-tiba pemerintah mengeluarkan aturan bahwa toko roti kecil tidak boleh lagi beroperasi untuk mendapatkan keuntungan.

Jadi toko roti Bliss pun tidak bisa lagi beroperasi. Dan itu artinya, Calamity Falls terancam kacau lagi. Untung ibu Rose menemukan ide untuk tetap membuat roti, tapi membagikannya secara gratis, setidaknya untuk sementara, karena kalau begitu terus lama-lama mereka bisa bangkrut.

Seakan belum cukup direpotkan oleh undang-undang, Rose juga direpotkan oleh Tn. Butter, pemilik perusahaan Mostess, perusahaan kue besar dengan ribuan karyawan, yang menculik Rose dan memaksanya untuk menyempurnakan resep kue ajaib dengan maksud jahat. Nah, berhasilkah Rose dan keluarganya menghentikan rencana jahat Tn. Butter?

Pasti berhasil dong. Caranya? Silakan baca sendiri bukunya :D Yang pasti buku ini lumayan kocak dengan kehadiran Ty, Sage, serta Gus dan Jacques. Sayang Leigh sudah sembuh dari mantra Lily, padahal Leigh lucu sekali di buku sebelumnya.

Dan saya masih kurang suka dengan Rose. Walaupun dia berhasil menyempurnakan kudapan yang bahkan Lily pun tak bisa melakukannya, tapi penyakit kurang percaya diri Rose kadang-kadang masih kumat. Saya jadi gregetan dibuatnya. Untunglah tidak separah buku-buku sebelumnya. Dan sebagai hadiahnya, Rose mendapatkan sesuatu yang begitu berharga di akhir kisah.

Yang paling saya suka dari kisah ini adalah bagaimana cara para tokoh protagonisnya melawan tokoh antagonis. Mereka mengajarkan kalau kejahatan hanya bisa dikalahkan dengan cinta.*eaaaaaa*. Jadi, alih-alih melawan orang jahat dengan kejahatan, lebih baik memberikan mereka limpahan kasih sayang sehingga mereka sadar. Ah, seandainya saja kue yang mengandung bahan "Kasih Ibu" itu benar-benar ada.

[Romanticamente Fantasy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Con Profumo di meringa siamo giunti al termine di questa particolare trilogia che fonde magia e pasticceria. Con un primo volume, a mio parere, molto bello e divertente, all’insegna della magia e dell’ingenuità di Rose mi sarei aspettata certamente un finale totalmente diverso. Ho trovato infatti questo terzo volume piuttosto lento e ripetitivo. Rose viene rapita dal signor Butter, proprietario delle industrie dolciarie Mostess, e costretta a perfezionare le ricette di alcune merendine per fare in modo che chi le mangi diventi assolutamente dipendente dai prodotti Mostess, così che non esistano più altre merendine.

Come idea poteva anche non essere male, ma di fatto ci ritroviamo a seguire, praticamente per tutta la durata del libro, cinque ricette malefiche con i conseguenti effetti sul team di pasticceri. E successivamente le cinque relative ricette “antidoto” per sistemare gli effetti negativi provocati dai dolci avvelenati. Monotono e poco divertente.

Anche l’ambientazione dell’industria dolciaria secondo me ha del tutto spazzato la freschezza che invece ha caratterizzato i due racconti precedenti.

Speravo e credevo davvero di vedere, in questo terzo capitolo, una crescita piuttosto evidente della nostra protagonista, ma di fatto la protagonista è più o meno la stessa dell’inizio della serie. Un po’ meno insicura sì, ma il cambiamento è davvero minimo.

Come nei volumi precedenti lo stile della Littlewood è sempre piuttosto semplice e scorrevole quindi un testo fruibile senza problemi da ragazzini dai 9/10 anni. Il problema è che forse in questo capitolo conclusivo la storia è molto meno avvincente delle precedenti e quindi un ragazzo, come anche un adulto come me, dopo un po’ perde interesse a causa della monotonia che permane in gran parte del libro.

Una trilogia partita nel migliore dei modi, tant’è che avevo dato il massimo punteggio, ma che pian piano è andata un po’ a sfumare, purtroppo. Resta comunque una serie davvero molto originale che, nonostante non mi abbia del tutto convinta con il finale, mi sento di consigliare in quanto molto scorrevole e soprattutto perché in ogni volume troviamo una morale e messaggi molto positivi per il target di ragazzi a cui è rivolto.

Fefil 89 - per RFS

[Emily · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was my least favorite of the 3 Bliss novels. Though I still thoroughly enjoy the characters and Littlewood's writing style, this plot seemed way out of left field.

While I am all for encouraging young people to avoid preservative laden, processed foods, this tale was over the top with the evil "Mostess Snack Company" and poorly connected to the first 2 stories of the series. Several elements made no sense based on what we know from the previous books. If Lily had become a famous tv chef using the Bliss family cookbook, how could she possibly have been spending time developing world conquering recipes for Mostess without anyone's knowledge? Why did she just disappear after the contest of book 2? Rose could find Lily's copy of Albatross' Apocrypha, but evil Mr. Butter wouldn't have thought to have her room searched after she disappeared? Mr. Butter is actually related to the Bliss family, but has no knowledge of magical baking -- and why was this element of the plot even brought up only to be immediately dropped? Lots and lots of people are gaining direct knowledge of the Bliss' magical ways, and with so many magical occurrences at very public events with tv cameras watching,etc. Kind of goes against hundreds of years of Bliss family secrecy. Anyway, there were just too many elements that didn't fit, or just plain didn't make any sense.

This is still a fun series of books for tweens that love to read, just like mine.

Rosemary Bliss menjadi pemenang termuda kontes Gâteaux Grands dan mendapatkan kembali buku resep rahasia milik keluarganya. Selain mendapatkan buku resep, ia juga mendapatkan ketenaran yang membuatnya tidak nyaman.

"Bagi Rosemary Bliss, ketenaran bukan adonan sembarangan."

Namun, keluarnya peraturan pemerintah yang mengharuskan pengusaha dengan jumlah karyawan kurang dari seribu berhenti beroperasi, membuat keluarga Bliss harus menghentikan pembuatan kue. Hingga akhirnya sebuah ide muncul untuk membuat kue secara cuma-cuma untuk seluruh warga Calamity Falls. Kue pun dibuat, Rose dan Gus (kucing yang bisa bicara) membagikan kue bersama.

Disanalah kisah Rose dimulai... Ia bertemu dengan Tn. Kerr dan Tn. Butter dari perusahaan Mostess (perusahaan pembuat kue yang masih beroperasi). Rosemary ditahan dan diberi tugas untuk menyempurnakan lima resep kue monster-zombie.

Mereka membutuhkan kue, pai, kukis, dan donat. Sesekali makan yang manis bisa mengingatkan orang akan betapa manisnya hidup ini. – Hal 32

Jangan menyiksa diri. Cobalah tidur nyenyak. Itu jalan keluar kucing untuk masalah apa pun: tidur. Apa yang perlu dilakukan selalu akan lebih jelas besok paginya. – Hal. 64

Kisah itu mirip ekor, harus panjang, kuat dan menarik. – Hal 89

Setelah memenangkan kompetisi Gateaux Grands dan mendapatkan kembali buku resep rahasia keluarga Bliss, Rose menjadi terkenal. Toko kue keluarganya pun kembali beroperasi dengan normal. Namun kondisi ini tidak berlangsung lama, karena tiba-tiba keluar peraturan yang melarang industri roti rumahan untuk berproduksi. Belum cukup dengan masalah tersebut, Rose pun diculik dan dipaksa bekerja pada sebuah perusahaan bernama Mostess. Tn. Butter pemiliknya meminta Rose untuk memperbaiki resep-resep kue yang akan diperdagangkan oleh perusahaan Mostess. Tetapi ternyata ada rencana jahat untuk menguasai dunia dibalik semua kejadian itu.

Well...bisa dibilang tidak ada yang baru dari petualangan Rose. Meski sekarang dia terkurung di dalam sebuah pabrik roti, dengan nyawa oran tuanya yang menjadi taruhannya. Sekali lagi Rose dibantu oleh kedua saudaranya, Ty dan Sage.

Jujur saja, saya nyaris bosan membaca buku ketiga ini. Kisahnya nyaris datar. Kalaupun ada pesan moral yang bisa saya petik adalah jangan banyak makan kue yang berpengawet. :))

[Amanda · Rating 2 out of 5]

It is with a sense of relief that I finish this series...though the author did, of course, put in a tiny little ominous bit from semi-evil Aunt Lily to hang over the ending just as a way to leave the series open. Aunt Lily seriously needs to be MORE; she either needs to commit to being all evil or coming around to loving the family and leaving the bad guys. This wishy-washy non-bad guy that she is really doesn't move me. Bad guys need to be BAD.

Finally got to see Rose work with her brothers here and come into her own some, but hoo boy, did it take for-ev-er to happen! I wish that I could love this series, but I was constantly forcing myself to just get through the books because of the low self-esteem issues, the family issues, the writing dragging throughout, the trying to hard to be poetic, etc.

Don't know if I will recommend these at all.

[Giselle Belle · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was so fantastically written that I could not put it down. The characters were complex, the plot was intriguing and the book was overall exciting. My favorite characters were Sage and Ty Bliss who are Rosemary Bliss’s brothers. They were sort of the comic relief of the story. I also really like Marge. Going against her boss must have taken a lot of courage. She came through in the end with the antidote treats. The author’s creativity lead to many things in this story like the talking cat and the secret chain of cat messaging called Caterwal and the hotel for hostages as I like to call it. My favorite parts are when Rose, Ty and Sage ride the flying squirrels to get away from Mr. Butter and when Ty dresses up as Kathy Keegan to make sure the treats look real. Overall this is a great book and I totally recommend it.

"Kalau saja aku tidak perlu membuat roti lagi."

Hati-hati mengucapkan apa yang kau inginkan, terutama jika menjelang ulang tahun. Harapan yang diucapkan sebelum ulang tahun sering menjadi suatu hal atau peristiwa tak terduga.

Setidaknya begitulah yang terjadi terhadap Rose. Keinginannya bisa dimaklumi. Setelah menjadi Chef termuda yang pernah menjuarai Gala des Gateaux Grands kehidupannya menjadi berubah total.

Sering kali saat ia membuka kamar tidurnya yang terlihat adalah segerombolan pencari berita yang ribut meneriakan berbagai pertanyaan. Ketenangan dan kedamaian jauh dari kehidupannya. Musim panas kali ini memberikan suasana yang berbeda bagi Rose, dan tentu saja keluarganya.

Este libro definitivamente no funciono conmigo. La saga en sí se me hizo aburrida, pero especialmente este ultimo libro el cual tuve que obligarme a leer por las ultimas dos semanas.
No le doy una estrella por que esa me la suelo reservar para las aberraciones que nunca debí leer.

Lo bueno:
Los personajes están bien descritos.

Lo malo:
Las situaciones se resuelven ridículamente sencillas.
El libro es un conjunto de instrucciones que se repiten ciclicamente.
Algunas situaciones son absurdas (aun considerando que es un libro para niños).

Realmente no sé para que edades esta dirigido específicamente. Yo lo hubiera leído a los seis años y tal vez no me hubiera aburrido tanto.

Akhirnya, selesai juga baca ini. Aku cuma memastikan, ini buku pamungkas kan? Ekspektasiku melebihi apa yang ada dalam buku ini. Dari awal, ceritanya terkesan aman-aman saja, cenderung membosankan karena alurnya sama. Membuat kue jahat, mencari bahan sihir untuk kue baik, membuat kue baik, membuat kue jahat, mencari bahan sihir.... Yah, walaupun aku menikmati seperempat kisah terakhirnya dan Sihir Segigit yang mengubah semuanya.

Setelah itu semua, aku teringat: "Oh, benar! Ini buku anak-anak!"

SUKA! Ya, this is one of my most favourite series. Ceritanya mengajarkan banyak hal, terutama kekeluargaan. Family is number one and it will never be replaced. Di tiap bukunya, ada aja resep-resep baru yang keren. Walaupun ada magic, rasanya buku ini nggak cliche. Senang karena jadinya nggak cuma baca petualangan Rose, tapi juga belajar apa artinya keluarga.
