Bookroo's summary

Cora Lee Merriweather, a ghost with a penchant for scaring off new bakers, haunts her former bake shop. Known for her unmatched pies and cakes, Cora Lee's spirit lingers, ensuring no one else can claim her kitchen. But when Annie Washington arrives, determined and unafraid, Cora Lee faces an unexpected challenge. Can Annie outwit the spectral baker, or will Cora Lee's ghostly grip on the shop remain unbroken? Discover the spirited showdown in this delightful tale of culinary hauntings and unexpected friendships.

From the publisher

The charming story of a cranky old ghost who haunts the bake shop she used to own is now in paperback! Cora Lee Merriweather had a lemon pucker mouth and hair scraped back into a hard little bun. Cora Lee also baked the best pies and cakes for miles. But now Cora Lee haunts the shop she used to own. When new bakers arrive to take over her empty bake shop, she scares them away. Then Annie Washington comes to town, and it seems Cora Lee has met her match.
