Bridget Vanderpuff and the Baked Escape

This was an enjoyable read and young readers will appreciate it as well! Full of extremely quirky characters. Bridget Baxter is the main character, she is the last child at the orphanage and she is living a horrible life with Miss Acrid (it’s in the name really!) a ghastly women who really dislikes children. Luckily Bridget is adopted by the wonderful Mr Vanderpuff and he takes her to his bakery and tries to teach her to bake…There is adventure, great friendships, orphanage matrons and baking!Lovely read for Year 3 onwards.

I can’t deny, I’m a fan of children’s books based in orphanages….they’re always just so much fun, there’s always a mean owner and always at least one rebel.This hit all of the buttons for me, Bridget is absolutely fabulous, maybe a bit too big for her boots? Her confidence is absolutely sky high, and her heart is pure good. When she meets Mr Vanderpuff her life changes, but has Miss Acrid gone?!!!A wild ride, well written!

As an 'errant child' myself, I thought Bridget was fabulous - the baking side of the story is also something that young people are increasingly interested in, so combining this with a mystery makes for a very appealing story.

I bought the book as a gift. It arrived ahead of schedule. It came in perfect condition; very wellpackaged! I will definitely order from this seller in the future!! Thanks!
