Evie Baker is a great story-teller, an avid prankster, and a fantastic baker, who has no plans to stay in her small town and become stuffy or static. Evie dreams of adventures and she knows just how to do it!

With her best friend by her side, Evie sets off into the Old Forest to find a Fel, a crow-like magical creature who can’t lie. She is sure her family’s irresistible raspberry tart and a carefully crafted deal will lead to a magical adventure—without getting her eaten or worse. But the forest hides many dangers and when they finally find their Fel, they also discover a nest of robbers!

YA novelist Caitlin Sangster makes her middle-grade debut in this fun fairy tale filled with adventure, friendship, baking, and the power of a tale well-told.
