Teil zwei ist vielleicht nicht ganz so stark wie Band eins, aber das ist Meckern auf hohem Niveau. Erneut verzaubert uns Anna Meriano mit einer wundervollen Geschichte und extrem liebenswerten Figuren. Dazu gibt es viele leckere Süssigkeiten und vor allem leckere magische Süssigkeiten! Wer kann da schon Nein sagen?

Doch im Buch müssen alle Charaktere auch etwas lernen. Nicht nur die junge Leo, sondern die ganze Familie. Wir lesen von Freundschaft, Aufrichtigkeit, Loyalität. Von Familie, Verlust und Trauer. All diese wichtigen Themen packt die Autorin in diesen Titel, aber trotzdem wirkt nichts davon überspannt.

Die Geschichte geht erneut ans Herz und begeistert mit seinem Charme und Flair. Selbstverständlich habe ich den nächsten Teil bereits als To Read markiert. Ich freue mich schon darauf, Schokolade zu knabbern und zu erfahren, wie es mit Leo und ihren Freunden und ihrer Familie weitergeht.

Hi I love these books they're so cute and make me happy.

This one had less actual baking in it, unfortunately, but I still loved Leo and her character development (how she makes herself be heard and comes up with plans and trusts herself and goes against what she's been told because she thinks it's right). As always, I love the relationship between Leo and her sisters (and the rest of her family) the most.

The audiobook is excellent and I will be listening to audio for the third book as well! (Only downside is that the recipes are supposed to be on an attached pdf and the digital library will not oblige me, alas.)

Such a cute story! I loved the incorporation of Leo's friends into the magical world. And it was super interesting learning about other magical abilities.

RTC when it's not 4:37 am, but the short version is this - I love this family. I love how these stories focus on feeling left out and grief and moving on and love. I love that they're all covered in sugar. I love that this made me sob like a baby. The two books in this series are genuinely so magical and pure and they just make me feel all the way good.

Anna Meriano’s books never disappoint me. I absolutely love Leo and her love for brujería.
