She therefore decides to practice behind her family’s back, imagining that she can help her friends at school with some enchanted baked goods. The women in Leo’s family are all brujas, but she is not allowed to do magic until she turns fifteen. ReviewĪ Dash of Trouble is a fairly standard MG fantasy featuring magic and baking. But magic does not always go as expected and soon Leo creates a mess she may not be able to clean up on her own. Then she discovers a family secret that really makes her mad: her family is a family of brujas with cooking magic–and no one was going to tell her until she turned fifteen! Now eleven-year-old Leo is sneaking around, stealing recipe books and ingredients, determined to do magic by herself. The Day of the Dead is approaching and Leo is bitter that her four older sisters get to help out at her parents’ bakery while she goes to school.
