Praise for Bee Bakshi and the Gingerbread Sisters
'Full of twists, genuine scares, and satisfying reveals… Gingerbread is plentiful in this spooky “Hansel and Gretel” retelling, but the lessons about friendship are sweeter still.’ — KIRKUS REVIEW
‘A fun adventure with a loveable cast of characters that reminds you the only way to fit in is to just be yourself. That is the true gingerbread magic.' — Ally Malinenko, author of GHOST GIRL and THIS APPEARING HOUSE
‘From heart-pounding fear to laugh out loud humor… This book will scare and certainly excite you, but the important lesson readers take away is just as sweet as the cookie in the title suggests.’ — George Jreije, author of the SHAD HADID children’s fantasy series
