Midsummer's Mayhem

I read Midsummer's Mayhem by Rajani LaRocca for my girls' book club. This book tells the story of 11-year-old Mimi, who loves to bake. When a new bakery in town announces a baking contest, Mimi knows she has to enter. Unfortunately, her dad--a renowned food writer who is her best taste tester--comes home from a business trip and begins acting strange and distant. Then Mimi meets a new friend named Vik and with his help begins baking using exotic ingredients she finds in the woods in her search to pin down the perfect submission for the baking contest. But when weird things start happening to her siblings, Mimi begins to wonder if her new ingredients are the culprit.

This was a fun read. I definitely liked it more than I expected to. The story was interesting with fun characters and twists.
