NOTES

Trouble is brewing at Margaret's Academy of Tea and Brewing, and unlucky Misha has one chance to fix it with the recipe for the perfect enchanted cup of chai, in this magical, heartfelt, and funny adventure about the power of believing in yourself, perfect for fans of A Taste of Magic and The Marvellers. All it took was one majestic frog and a love brew gone wrong-and faster than you can say ribbit, Misha got Things aren't much better back home. A rival tea shop opens across the street, and rumors spread that the Dayaans' tea is cursed. Determined to fix her family's reputation, Misha's only got one option left: attend the infamous Margaret's Academy of Tea and Brewing and brew her way to the top of her class-even if it means a little bit of spice sabotage. But when Misha finds herself up against the girl from the tea shop across the street and things start going wrong-ghostly tea leaves, living scarecrows, and rumors of missing tea witches-Misha starts to realize the truth: she's jinxed. And if she can't turn her luck around, her family tea shop, her classmates-and even all of Margaret's Academy-will have a fate worse than cold tea. Emi Pinto's heartfelt, hilarious, and hijinks-filled Chai Jinxed is a stand-alone adventure for everyone who has ever felt the pressure to succeed, with an affirming story about friendship, family, and self-love. Praise for BEE BAKSHI AND THE GINGERBREAD SISTERS: "Full of twists, genuine scares, and satisfying reveals, this debut is sure to please readers in search of a thrill. Gingerbread is plentiful in this spooky "Hansel and Gretel" retelling, but the lessons about friendship are sweeter still." - Kirkus Reviews "Part fairy-tale retelling, part ghost story, part haunted house Bee Bakshi and the Gingerbread Sisters adds up to one magical thing: A story that is all heart. A fun adventure with a loveable cast of characters that reminds you the only way to fit in is to just be yourself. That is the true gingerbread magic." - Ally Malinenko, author of Ghost Girl and This Appearing House
