Premise of the Book

After his father remarried following his mother’s death, a 16-year-old boy was forced to live with his stepmother and stepsibling. His relationship with his stepmother was never good, so when he was suddenly accused of harassing his stepsibling, he ran away. In a panic, he fled to a nearby bakery, never expecting to find a world of magic waiting for him. At first glance, Wizard Bakery looks like an ordinary bakery, but it actually sells bread and pastries infused with magic. While staying there, the boy witnesses the selfishness of people who seek magical power for their own gain. Although the Baker and his assistant, Bluebird, often scold him, they also offer him comfort—something his own family never did. But when the police begin investigating the bakery, the boy realizes that his time to face reality is running out.

Book Review

Hey there! Isn't it just amazing when our wishes actually come true? But hey, have you ever thought about the not-so-sunny side of getting what you wish for? Not every wish is all rainbows and unicorns, you feel me? This book really goes deep into some heavy stuff that's not your usual light reading. We're talking about patriarchal attitudes, child sexual violence, past traumas, and even some dark themes like murder and suicide. There's even a part where they explore the whole "turning back time" deal, showing us that repeating things doesn't always make them better. Instead of running away from reality, the author hammers home the idea of facing it head-on. They want us to do some soul-searching, be mindful of our choices, and own up to our decisions without pointing fingers. And let me tell you, there's a twist in the tale that'll leave you shook! So, if you're thinking of diving into this book, make sure to give the Trigger Warning a once-over before you jump in for a wild ride of emotions!
