Eleven-year-old Hannah Hallett is baking-mad and when her mum opens the Sugar and Spice bakery it’s like a dream come true, well, apart from Hannah having to move house and change school in the middle of Year 6. What if she doesn’t make any new friends? What if she hates her new school? And what if the bakery is a flop?
Follow Hannah as she starts her new life and makes new friends. From helping at the bakery to being on a TV show, matchmaking to fundraising, Hannah’s life always seems to contains plenty of sugar and spice!
