Product Information

Sweet Baker: Dilly is a kindhearted and optimistic cookie-baker, who is particularly devoted to ensuring her daughter is safe and happy.

Bestselling author Alexandra Christo, author of TikTok sensation To Kill a Kingdom, introduces her new book, The Night Hunt (Hot Key Books), a dark... Since I already knew what the story was about, I skipped the “General Sketches” she mentions, and went straight to figuring out the plot structure and character arc, as well as interviewing my characters. Her series finishes with writing out the structure for each scene, but I did this as I wrote the first draft. It is never revealed if Gerry gets any particular punishment for his domestic abuse. However, the story does throw around the possibility that his new business deal will not go through, and that he will get arrested for bribery. This book is for… both those who seek the easy but enchanting and those in the mood for some extravaganza.Coffee house Caffè Nero has announced the 16-strong shortlist for the inaugural Nero Book Awards, recognising the outstanding books of the past 12... The idea for this novel sparked out of a dream. It was a small moment between a man and a woman that stayed with me after I woke up. The dream inspired a scene which I wrote right away.

Now before every recipe is a little blurb about where the idea or concept came from. Personally, I love learning about how bakers come up with flavors or the history behind a family recipe. Chocolatey, fruity, crispy, chewy, classic, inventive—there's a foolproof recipe for the perfect treat for everyone in this cookie recipe book. Double Act won the prestigious Smarties Medal and the Children’s Book Award as well as being highly commended for the Carnegie Medal. The Story of Tracy Beaker won the 2002 Blue Peter People’s Choice Award. Can you tell us a bit about Cookie's latest adventure, Cookie and the Most Mysterious Mystery in the World?Of course I bristled when I read that, but I love that she included this. There are many people who will tell you to put up with this 'mild' abuse, stay in the nice house, remember others have it worse etc. And of course others are going through worse, but that does not justify things. Beauty's father's continually escalating temper, and the danger it places them in, is instantly undermined, and you see all to clearly how difficult an attempt to break away can be, especially if you're being made to feel at fault. I also used this time for research, which I also didn’t do ahead of writing my first novel. My novel is set at a cookie factory. Although I have a PhD in Food Science and previous experience as a quality assurance manager, I’d never worked in that type of plant. I had to research special requirements, like handling of ingredients and equipment. I also had to create a company profile, decide what my product would be, and draw a rough sketch. First Draft – Jan to Feb 2019 It is never stated if Skye and her accomplices get any comeuppance, but it is hinted that Rhona intends to end her friendship with them.

Hates Their Parent: Beauty becomes increasingly alienated from her father, who is verbally and emotionally abusive to her and her mother. The last straw is when Beauty discovers her father got her pet rabbit killed, at which point she openly states she hates him. After she and her mother leave, she's quite happy to never see her father again. Embarrassing First Name: Beauty regards her first name as this for most of the story. In the end, she doesn’t seem to mind it so much, after meeting a girl with an equally embarrassing first name: Princess. Together, they decide to form an Unusual Names Club. Dilly also considers her given name of Dilys as utterly ridiculous, assuming her mother “thought it sounded posh” and usually goes by Dilly. Happy Marriage Charade: Dilly is desperately trying to maintain one with Gerry, especially at Beauty's birthday party. She eventually decides it's not worth it and leaves.You also explore what is happening to Cookie at home, why did you decide to introduce Nani to Cookie's story? At home Beauty's life is as far from normal. Her mum loves her to bits and has never got cross with her but with her dad it's another story. Beauty and her mum live in fear of what's going to happen and if he gets cross you want to be as far away as possible. Keep working on your craft– I thought I knew everything there is to know because I’d written a whole novel, but I learned you can never know enough. I followed other author’s recommendations and found new tools to help take my novel to the next level. I hope I can write the next book in less time, with fewer rewrites.

Cookie - a lass with sass who'll inspire girls and boys alike (and make mums and dads laugh too) ... daft and funny for all.' - Zoe BallSepertinya sudah lama sejak terakhir membaca karya Tante Jacqueline. Kangen juga dengan buku-bukunya yang banyak mengangkat anak broken home, perceraian, atau bahkan kekerasan dalam rumah tangga, meski kadang secara pribadi agak jengah gitu karena kebanyakan pembacanya kan anak-anak (bukan saya maksudnyahh... :D). Beautiful All Along: Contrary to Gerry's and Skye's assertions, Beauty is not "ugly"; she is merely less conventionally attractive compared to Dilly. In fact, Beauty is shown to be much better-looking when dressed in casual hairstyles and tasteful clothes that are not necessarily expensive. It is made clear that Beauty's supposed "ugliness" exists only in Gerry's and Skye's heads.
