Madeline is having problems at school. A new girl is bullying her and she's too afraid to ask Madame Pamplemousse and her cat Camembert for help. When she meets Madame Bonbon, she discovers a shop of sweets galore and she feels that she can defeat the bully.
But Madeline is drawn into a world which she can't escape and this terrifies her. Has she made the wrong choice to follow Madame Bonbon? What will happen at a prestigious competition?
Once again, Rupert Kingfisher brings a sweet-toothed tale set in the heart of Paris, in the mysteriously magical food stores. As the third in the Madame Pamplemousse series, this book is different, sweeter and has a mystery to be solved. This is a page-turner, but the detailed descriptions of food will make you want a sweet snack, so be armed with some candy before reading this! For readers 9+.
