Bliss / Kathryn Littlewood / 374 pages

"It was the summer Rosemary Bliss turned ten that she saw her mother fold a lightning bolt into a bowl of batter and learned - beyond a shadow of a doubt - that her parents made magic in the Bliss Bakery."  The magic is a family secret, as is the Bliss Cookery Booke, and ancient, leather-bound volume of enchanted recipes.  When her mother and father accompany the mayor of the neighboring town to end a flu epidemic, they entrust Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme with their secrets.  Perhaps all would have been well had no mysterious, previously unknown, "Aunt Lily" shown up on her huge motorcycle.  This was a fun, tantalizing read!
