Leila is spellbindingly good at everything ... until she discovers that baking is no piece of cake!

New from the author of the New York Times #1 bestseller Gustavo, the Shy Ghost!

Leila, the Perfect Witch introduces us to Leila Wayward, an extraordinary little witch who excels at everything she does. She's the fastest flier, the most cunning conjurer, and the sneakiest shape-shifter. As the youngest in a long line of master bakers, Leila's big dream is to win the most infamous culinary competition around: The Magnificent Witchy Cake-Off!

But even with the most bewitching of recipes, Leila realizes a terrible truth: she’s a disaster in the kitchen! Luckily, she has three magical sisters who are always there for her, ready to remind her to have some fun along the way.

Set in Mexico, this vibrant story – brimming over with delicious sweet treats – is a celebration of sisterhood, taking part, and the simple joy of making (and eating!) food together.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Leila, the Perfect Witch by Flavia Z. Drago is celebrated as a delightfully illustrated pre-school fiction tale. Drawing parallels with Elizabeth Day's self-help approach for adults, it offers young readers a magical story about embracing one's imperfections. Leila is portrayed as a talented little witch, providing a contrast to the more accident-prone characters in classic witch tales. The book is praised for its vibrant illustrations and engaging narrative that underscores the message that no one can excel at everything.
