In this magical fairy tale, the Witch is alone AGAIN on her birthday, so she bakes a Cake Girl to sing, dance, and do all the housework for her. The Witch tells Cake Girl she is going to EAT her, but clever Cake Girl turns the tables on her captor and shows her instead how it is possible and EVEN fun to be a nice person. The finale is a cornucopia of magic tricks and laughter, and is the best birthday either of them have ever had.

"A thing of beauty, in which a grizzled old witch discovers that being nice to a friend - even one you've knocked together out of cake-mix - brings unexpected rewards. Neither could fail to charm anyone under six." - Independent on Sunday
"His spidery, witty line and self-referring invented worlds bring to mind such great exponents of graphic art as Saul Steinberg and Paul Klee." - Ian Beck, The Times
"Lucas (Halibut Jackson) writes and paints with quiet affection for his characters. Watching Cake Girl teach the witch new social skills is a treat." - Publishers' Weekly
"Chaotically humorous, fun and original... a wealth of detail that will no doubt intrigue young readers." - Carousel
"Eye-catching illustrations draw the reader into a magical story of friendship and fun." - EYE
