A fantastical coming-of-age story for fans of whimsical translated fiction | The genre-defining Korean bestseller
'Don't we all need a little magic in our lives sometimes?'
Open twenty-four hours a day, at first glance The Wizard's Bakery seems like any ordinary bakery where you can buy bread, cakes, and cookies, with a somewhat grumpy man behind the counter.
At first glance, that is. Because when the young boy who is our protagonist chooses it as a refuge to escape a difficult family situation, the reality he finds is quite different. Baked with the help of a mysterious blue-haired shop assistant, are sweets and pastries with immense powers, capable of changing lives: diabolical cinnamon cookies to give to those you can't stand, madeleines to fix broken hearts, almond bars to remember the past.
But each of these items comes with a warning, regardless of the positive or negative effect: the power contained in the treats inevitably alters the order of the world and sometimes produces dramatic consequences for those who consume them, consequences that need to be weighed carefully.
Follow along with our protagonist as he learns about the responsibility that comes with working at this bakery . . . and most of all, how much people need a little bit magic in their lives.
